Multi Text Input

The Multi Text Input widget is used to collect multiple lines of text from the user in a single input field. It supports extended input, allowing for detailed or paragraph-style text entries.

Common Use Cases

  • Collecting user feedback or comments

  • Entering detailed descriptions in forms

  • Writing messages or notes in applications

Widget Properties

Title:

Displays a label above or beside the input field to indicate its purpose (e.g., "Your Message").

Validator:

Validators are used to ensure the input meets specific conditions before the form is submitted.(e.g., only text, specific format, no special characters).

Maximum Characters (0 = any)

This property sets the maximum number of characters a user can enter in the Multi Text Input widget.

  • If set to 0, it means no limit — users can type as many characters as they want.

  • If set to a specific number (e.g., 200), the input will be restricted to that many characters.
