How to Add a Rich Text Field Input?
A rich text field is a versatile input element that allows users to format their text with a variety of styles, including:
Bold text
Italicized* text
Underlined text
Hyperlinks
Bulleted or numbered lists
This makes it a powerful tool for creating engaging and informative content.
How to Add a Rich Text Field:
Locate the "Add Block" Button:
Look for the "Add Block" button on the left side of your screen. This is typically where you add new elements to your page or form.
Select "Rich Text":
Click the "Add Block" button to open a list of available elements.
From the options, choose "Rich Text."
Enable Rich Text Formatting:
Once the rich text field is added, look for a setting or toggle to enable rich text formatting. This option may be labeled differently depending on the specific platform or software you're using.
Ensure this option is enabled to allow users to format their text.
Why Use a Rich Text Field?
Enhanced User Experience: Rich text fields provide a familiar and intuitive way for users to input and format text.
Improved Content Quality: Users can create visually appealing and well-structured content, making it easier to read and understand.
Increased Engagement: Rich text fields can help you capture more detailed and informative user input.
By incorporating rich text fields into your designs, you can elevate the user experience and empower users to create more engaging and impactful content.
Rich text fields in NoteForms allow users to format text with bold, italics, hyperlinks, and lists, but they have a 2,000-character limit. If you need to collect longer responses, you should use a Page Body Input instead.
Unlike rich text fields, which store text within a Notion database field, Page Body Inputs populate the body of a Notion page directly, allowing for unlimited text without character restrictions.
Enable Page Body Input in Your Form – When setting up your form, select the option to send a field's content to the Notion page body.
Use for Long-Form Content – This is ideal for blog submissions, detailed notes, or any input that requires more than 2,000 characters.
No Character Limit – Unlike database fields, which may have length restrictions, the Notion page body does not limit text length.
