# Text

If you need to allow users to enter a large amount of text, or want to allow them to enter text on multiple lines, use the Multi-Line field type instead. 

Additional options for Line of Text fields:

1. Required: Enable checkbox if field cannot be left empty. 
2. No. Chars: Specify the maximum number of characters that users can enter in this field. 
3. Default: Specify the default content you want this field to display when you first create an entry.
