Text Area

A text area is a basic element. It creates a field in which the user can enter text and, unlike the text box, accepts multiple lines.

The element creation form will ask for:

• Table Field:(required) the table field the information provided will apply to
• Label: (required) the identifier of the element in the overview
• Default Field Value:(optional & applies to static forms only) default text to appear on form
• Class:(optional) HTML class attribute for the element
• Validation rule: decide the level of validation for the element

Note: There is a character limit to a text area which is derived from the Core/Data Table field it is linked to.

All table fields are limited to 255 characters unless the type selected is "Large Text", in which case the limit is 9,999 characters.
