I have a container and an overflow-y-scroll CSS property. Inside it, there's a Bootstrap collapse button that expands and shows additional content when clicked. However, when the content expands, it overflows outside of the container, making it hard to read, and it messes up the page.
I've tried setting the height of the collapse feature and its parent div to 100%, but it didn't solve the issue. I expected the collapse feature to expand without overflowing outside of the container, so that users can scroll down to see the entire content.

After dedicating significant effort towards troubleshooting the issue at hand, I have successfully discovered a viable solution. Rather than solely relying on Bootstrap 5, I implemented a custom CSS class with the important tag, and subsequently adjusted the size using the resize function.
height: calc(35vh - 34px) !important;
To ensure that the formatting remains consistent when enclosed, I also adjusted the container style within a specific media width. This approach proved effective in mitigating the problem at hand.
