Workaround

Open the app in the builder mode and change the Edit widget configuration to ‘geometry and attributes’ instead of ‘attributes only’. Add a new editable source as the test feature layer. Under capability, toggle ‘add records’ and ‘delete records’ off and toggle ‘update records’ on, ensuring only ‘attribute’ is checked. Make sure that ‘configure fields using web map settings’ is selected. When the app is saved and launched, multiple lines can be created in the string field by pressing ‘Enter’. This editing mode pulls through the smart form configuration correctly.
