Textarea

Stores multiline text for a longer answer or description.

When to use

Use it for delivery instructions, an address, an inspection note, or a problem description. Choose Text for a short identifier and Choice when answers should use a fixed vocabulary.

Settings

Name, default value, maximum characters (max_char, default 800), bold text, field size, title inclusion, and inline layout are supported. Textarea is also available as a Table column.

For example, add delivery instructions covering the entrance, opening hours, and contact details. The current request schema does not define rich-text formatting, a minimum length, placeholder, or helper-text setting.

See shared field settings for workflow visibility, requirements, and layout options supported by this type.

Backend type: TextareaField.
