caution
This page is preliminary and subject to change as Forms 2.0 continues to be developed.
Allows users to input large amounts of plain text.
Adding a Textarea
Drag the Textarea tile from the field palette onto the Canvas - see Build for more on adding and arranging fields in general.
Parameters
Only Textarea-specific parameters are listed below. See Common Field Settings for the settings shared with other field types.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Initial Value | The field loads initially having this value. Supports Tokens, so you can pull data from various sources such as a user profile. |
| Rows | The size of the text area, expressed as a number of text rows. Defaults to 10. |
| Root CSS Classes | One or more CSS class names, separated by spaces, applied to the field's root element only. Supports Tokens. |
| Custom Attributes | Name/value pairs inserted as HTML attributes on the field's <textarea> tag, for use by JavaScript or CSS. Supports Tokens. |
