Long Text

The long text field gives respondents room to write detailed answers. It renders as a multi-line text area that grows as they type.

Adding a long text field

  • Click the + button between blocks, or
  • Type /long and select Long answer from the list

Settings

Click the drag handle to access settings:

  • Required — make this field mandatory
  • Maximum characters — cap the response length if needed (up to 20,000 characters)

When to use it

Long text is great for:

  • Open-ended feedback (“What could we improve?”)
  • Detailed descriptions or explanations
  • Comments and suggestions
  • Anything where a single line just won’t cut it

For short, structured answers, the Short Text field is a better fit.
