What you can do is ...
Insert below, another section of the Section you are placing this field in and expand the box down till that inserted section. Then the box would also grow along with the field.

I think it would work. Try, and tell me if it does !

Instead of using a box, set Single-line Borders on all four sides of your field.

Selecting "Expand to Bottom of Section When Printing" would actually expand the box till the fields are expanding the section.

This can be done ... but why don't you try :-
Format that Field's border by Right clicking on the field -> Borders and Colors -> And chose Single Line for all the sides (Left, Right, Top Bottom)
This would also work.

If the box is around a single field, use a Border instead of a box. This will automatically grow with the field.

If you have multiple fields in one box, use the split section technique. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

You can split a section into multiple subsections by right-clicking on the gray margin on the left (design mode) and selecting "insert section below". Create a subsection for each object, and then a final subsection that is empty. Make sure that the bottom of the box is placed in the empty section at the bottom.
