Configuring a Text field

Overview

A text field can be either a single line or multiple lines. Text fields are one of the most common fields you will see on the internet. They are a box on a web page that visitors are able to select and type text into it. You can enter any kind of character into a text field.

Single-line text field: Use a single line text field to hold plain text or data that doesn't fit well into any other type of field. A single-line text field can contain a maximum of 255 characters.

Multi-line text field: A multi- line text field is also similar to a single-line text field, but with more text area. It can contain any type of character and is appropriate for a comments or a notes field in a Form.Zoho Creator allows only 65,535 bytes (~64kb) of data in the multi-line text field. Refer the Known Issues and Limitation section for more information.
