Summary

The text areas provide a larger section for text making it a good option when you want respondents to elaborate on an answer or ask them for additional information.

Instructions

2. Add the Forms - Text Area macro to the form in the place you would like a text area to appear.

4. Set a label.
   
   

5. (Optional) Set a description of the field.
