The Text Area is a multi-line text input — exactly what HTML's <textarea> renders. Use it for free-form text where users might want to type a paragraph, a note, or a longer description.
Conditional options
- Min Length — minimum characters required.
- Max Length — maximum characters allowed.
- Height (px) — the rendered height of the textarea, in pixels. Defaults to the browser default. Common sensible values: 80px for short notes, 200px for longer descriptions.
For rich text, use WYSIWYG
The Text Area field stores plain text. If you need bold, italics, lists, or other formatting, pick the WYSIWYG Editor field type instead — it renders a rich-text toolbar and stores the result as HTML.
