Long Text Question

The Long Text question allows respondents to provide detailed answers in a text area, making it ideal for collecting opinions, feedback, or explanations.

This question type is best suited for open-ended questions where responses may require multiple sentences or paragraphs.

Use a Long Text question when you want to:

• Collect detailed feedback or suggestions
• Allow respondents to share personal experiences or opinions
• Ask open-ended survey questions
• Capture explanations or descriptions in forms

1. Open your form in the Formware editor.
2. Click the + Add Content button.
3. Select Long Text from the question types.
4. Enter your question text and optionally include a description or instructions.

Respondents can type extended answers directly into the text area.

The Config tab in the right-hand panel allows you to adjust the following options:

Enable the Required toggle to prevent respondents from skipping this question.

By default, Long Text responses have no character limit. To restrict the length:

2. Enter the maximum number of characters allowed (e.g., 500 characters).

This ensures responses stay concise when needed.

Enhance your question with images or videos:
