I am re-posting a previous question.

Is it possible to increase the height of a multi-line fill-in field when
the cumulative height of the lines typed into it exceeds the field's
initial height?

Here's an example where the field's initial height in 10em.

\usemodule[fields]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupfield
   [TextSetup]
   [width=\textwidth, height=10em, background=screen,
backgroundscreen=.97, frame=off]
\definefield [Block] [text] [TextSetup] [] [What's on your mind?]

\starttext
   \field [Block] [type here]
\stoptext

I have a situation where the amount of text typed into various fields
will vary, but it is inappropriate to reserve a large block of space for
each field.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You mean that the field in the pdf adapts itself? Maybe with some javascript magic but then it still doesn't adapt the following layout.

you can set n= to a large value to permits more than the standard 1000 chars
