Add a Long Text field to allow users to enter multiple lines of text (unlike the regular Text field, which only allows one line of text). Long Text supports letters, numbers, special characters, and even line breaks.
You can even set the minimum and maximum number of characters allowed by clicking the Min. / Max. button in the Long Text Settings menu on the right.
Configuration

|---|---|
| Field Label | The label displayed for the field. This is usually displayed at the top left corner above the field. |

| Default Value | The value that will be used to pre-populate the field when the form is initially opened. |
| Hint Text | The text that is displayed if the field has no value set, e.g. "Please enter a value" |
| Rules | A Rule or JavaScript snippet that allows you to perform actions on fields or sections within the form. The actions can include hide, show, enable, disable, showSection and hideSection.
