Text

Stores a short, single-line text value.

When to use

Use it for names, labels, SKUs, registration numbers, or external references. Text preserves leading zeroes in identifiers. Choose Textarea for a longer description, Number for arithmetic, and the dedicated Email or Phone type for contact values.

Settings

• Default value and maximum characters (max_char, default 40).
• Capitalization (capitalize) and duplicate-check configuration (check_duplicates).
• Bold text, color, field size, and inline layout.
• Column width, minimum width, and maximum width for tabular display.

For example, use Text for customer reference 00127-A. The current request schema does not define a custom regular expression, minimum length, placeholder, or helper-text setting.

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