📝 Text vs. Textarea: What's the Difference?

Both Text and Textarea fields serve similar purposes — allowing users to input custom content. However, the Textarea is designed for larger inputs, offering more space and greater flexibility in layout.


⚙️ Basic Settings Available for Both Fields

You can customize the following features for both Text and Textarea elements:

  • Label/Name – Change the display name shown to customers.

  • Required Field – Make the field mandatory before form submission.

  • Add-on Price – Add an extra cost when a customer fills out this field.

  • Min/Max Characters – Set minimum and/or maximum allowed characters.

  • Placeholder/Help Text – Display guidance text inside the field before entry.

  • Default Value – Pre-fill the field with a default value.

  • Character Count – Show a live character counter to users.

  • Conditional Logic – Show/hide this field based on other option selections.

⚙️ Advanced settings:

In this section, you can configure several advanced settings for your product option elements:

  1. Add-on Advanced Function

    • This allows you to customize how add-on products behave.

  2. Allow Value: Define what kind of input customers are allowed to enter.

  • Option: Default : Customers can enter any value freely without restrictions.

  • Letter: Only letters are allowed (A–Z, a–z)

  • Letter and Number: Only letters and numbers are allowed

  1. Text transform

Define how the entered text will be displayed:

  • None: Keep the text as entered.

  • Always Uppercase: Convert all letters to uppercase.

  • Always Lowercase: Convert all letters to lowercase.

4. Helptext Position

Choose where to display the help text for the option element:

  • Below Option Label

  • Below Option Element

  • Above Option Element

  • Tooltip

  1. Sufix/Prefix

You can configure a prefix or suffix to display inside the input field, helping guide the customer’s entry or add context to their input.

  1. HTML class

You can assign a custom HTML class to an element to control its styling or behavior using CSS or JavaScript.

  1. Column width

You can adjust the width of each form field by setting its column width—this helps in creating a more compact, responsive, and visually appealing form layout.
