After Creating a Form, you can choose from various Form Gadgets to add gadgets to your form. Three of these gadgets create fields that allow the end user to input text: Short Text, Long Text, and Rich Text.
When making your form choices, consider the differences between the text input fields:
- Length of desired end user input
- Text formatting abilities
- Short Text
-
Best for short, 2-3 word inputs (name, etc.). You can configure a minimum and maximum character limit to this field by going to Advanced Settings.
- Long Text
-
Best for longer text (think multiple sentences or paragraphs). This input field can NOT be formatted by the user. You can configure a minimum and maximum character limit to this field by going to Advanced Settings.
- Rich Text
- Used for longer text that requires formatting.
Note: All Text fields (Short Text, Long Text, and Rich Text) have a maximum character limit of 10,000 characters (with spaces) and line breaks/carriage returns will count as a character.
