Rich text field
A formatted long answer — bold, italics, lists, and links in the respondent's reply.
What it does#
The Rich text field is a long answer with formatting controls. Respondents can add bold, italics, bullet and numbered lists, and links — handy when the structure of the answer matters, not just the words.
When to use it#
- Job descriptions, case notes, or any answer that benefits from headings and lists.
- Internal forms where respondents paste formatted content.
Settings#
- Required — must be filled before the form advances.
- Placeholder — invite a real answer.
- Min / Max length — guard against one-word answers or runaway essays.
- Rows — the starting height of the editor.
Related fields#
- Long input — plain multi-line text, no formatting.
- Short input — single-line answers.
