Textarea

A multi-line text input for longer free-form responses.

Overview

The Textarea field renders a resizable multi-line text box, ideal for capturing longer responses such as comments, feedback, descriptions, or addresses. Unlike the single-line Text Input, the textarea allows respondents to enter multiple paragraphs and use newline characters.

You can control the initial height via the rows property and limit the total character count with validation.maxLength. A live character counter is shown when a maxLength is configured.
