Using the Text Area field in Contactum allows users to enter and submit multiple lines of text through your WordPress contact forms. To add this field to your form, navigate to the Add Field section. From there, you can either click on the Text Area field or drag and drop it into the form builder.
Textarea Field includes the following options:
- Field Label: Defines the purpose of the field.
- Meta Key: Automatically created when you edit the label, but it can still be modified manually.
- Help Text: Provides guidance on what the user should enter in the field.
- Required: Specifies whether the field is mandatory or optional. If enabled, an asterisk (*) will appear next to the field label.
