Rich text field

A long-answer field with a formatting toolbar. Note: the toolbar is presentational today — answers submit as plain text.

What it does#

The Rich text field is a long answer that shows a Bold / Italic / Underline toolbar above the textarea. The toolbar isn't wired up yet, so the answer is stored as plain text for now — use it where you want the styled look, and richer capture will follow.

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.
  • Long input — plain multi-line text, no formatting.
  • Short input — single-line answers.
