Long Text is for longer content that needs line breaks, such as notes, instructions, logs, meeting notes, or detailed descriptions. Unlike Single Line Text, Long Text keeps paragraph structure and can be displayed as Markdown.

​

Common Uses

  • Manual line breaks: Press Shift + Enter while editing to insert a line break.
  • Automatic wrapping: Cells wrap content based on column width, which makes long text easier to read.
  • Default text: If every new record needs the same note, set a default value.

​
Notes

  • Long Text does not support URL, Email, or Phone interactive display. It only supports plain text and Markdown.
  • If the content does not need line breaks and should use URL, Email, or Phone display, use a Single Line Text field.
