Multi-line text

Store longer notes, descriptions, comments, and explanations.

Use a Multi-line text field for longer notes, descriptions, comments, or explanations.

For the general settings all data fields have in common, see Shared field settings.

Multi-line text uses the same field-specific settings as Text:

General

• Default value: fills the field automatically in new records
• Minimum length: requires a minimum number of characters
• Maximum length: limits how many characters users can enter

Use Multi-line text for longer notes or paragraphs.

If you need formatted text, use Rich text.
