2. Column name can be identified by going to Reports>New Query Report>Running the below query 

select columnname from columnaliases where aliasname like '%test%'



Replace test with the field name. 

2.  Go to Admin > Incident Templates > Select a particular template > Include this additional field in the template > Field and Form Rules > Rule execution - On Create / Edit > Event - "On Form Load"  > Actions - Execute Script - Copy Paste the below code snippet and save the script.

var x="UDF_CHAR2";
var height=10;
var width="width:150%!important";
jQuery('[name="'+x+'"]').attr('rows',height).attr("style",width); 

3.  Replace "UDF_CHAR2" with the copied "column name" of the additional field.
