What is a Text Field?
Text fields are fields designed to hold short amounts of text. Text fields are often used to store information that is 1 sentence or less.
Field Options
Creating or editing a Long Text Field will have the following options to configure:
Name
This setting allows you to title your text field. For instance, "Project Name" or "Task".
Description
This setting allows you to provide an optional description of this field for your own reference.
Max Length Type
This setting allows you to choose between Small or Medium length type. Regardless of this setting, the default maximum text length is 255 characters.
Unique
This setting allows you to enable whether each text value must be unique from other records' text values.
Placeholder
This setting allows you to enter placeholder text to automatically populate within the text field's box when a form loads. Placeholders will appear as a grey text and can be useful for providing instructions, such as "Please enter text here." When a user begins to type within the field box, the placeholder text will disappear and be overwritten.
Default Form Value
This setting allows you to enter a default text value that will automatically populate within the text field's box when a form loads. If the user does not edit or remove the text, the default form value text will be saved.
Text Field Restrictions
Mutli-line text is not supported
