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.

Use Cases

Create and Configure

1

Choose the field type

In a table, click +, then choose Long Text.
2

Name the field

Enter a field name, such as “Description”, “Notes”, or “Details”.
3

Configure field properties

Set Default value, Display mode, and Field description as needed.
4

Save the field

After saving, users can enter multi-line content in cells.

Display Mode

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

  • Web addresses in the text become clickable links automatically, with nothing to configure. In an expanded record, a link button next to the input lists every address found in the cell.
  • Long Text does not support Email or Phone interactive display. Use a Single Line Text field when you need to click an address or number to write or call.
