    Hello,

    Could you please add null checks for TextViewport?

    I have input field with dynamic height - so I don't need any mask for input field and scrolling logic (OnScroll, OnPageUp, OnPageDown etc)
    Would be great if you add some null checks for text viewport just like non-required vertical scrollbar.

    I am not sure how the Input Field will behave without a viewport especially with Layout components as this viewport is part of the input field structure.

    The RectMask2D can be disabled.

    Well it does work with VerticalLayout and ContentSizeFitter with preferred height and with no viewport at all:

    In this case input field behaves not like scrollview but like expandable input field. Thats exactly what I need but causes null reference exceptions and unnecessary scroll logic.

    You should be able to achieve the same results with these layout components placed on the parent input field while keeping the child object structure intact.

    Are you observing issues if you keep the viewport in place with those layout components on the parent input field?
