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
| Scenario | Good for |
|---|
| Detailed descriptions | Task details, product descriptions, bug reproduction steps |
| Process notes | Customer follow-ups, daily summaries, meeting notes |
| Supporting context | Notes or explanations that should not be split into separate fields |
| Content drafts | Copy, announcements, and knowledge base snippets |
Choose the field type
In a table, click +, then choose Long Text.
Name the field
Enter a field name, such as “Description”, “Notes”, or “Details”.
Configure field properties
Set Default value, Display mode, and Field description as needed.
Save the field
After saving, users can enter multi-line content in cells.
Display Mode
| Display mode | Good for | Description |
|---|
| Plain text | Notes, logs, instructions | Keeps line breaks and is suitable for direct editing and reading |
| Markdown | Document snippets, checklists, links | Displays content with Markdown formatting |
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.
