Metadata TextArea field

Prints text that can contain HTML tags.

Attribute Description Required
label The text is shown as a label in the user interface. true
name Unique field identifier
Two metadata items can’t have the same name. The name must be unique.
The name must start with “okp:”.
Using the metadata group name as a basis for the metadata field name is a good practice. For example, use “okg:consulting” as the metadata group name to create the field name “okp:consulting.textarea” by changing “okg” to “okp”. That helps to find the metadata group based on the metadata field name.
Please use only letters, numbers, and underscores: “0-9a-zA-Z_”.		 true
type Type value. Allowed types:
- text.
- html.		 No
value The default value for the component. false
placeholder The placeholder value. false
description General description. false
width The width of the HTML element.
In the case of KCenter, the UI must use width values based on %, for example:
- width=“50%” will work
- width=“100px” will be ignored in the KCenter UI.		 false
height The height of the HTML element. false
readonly The field cannot be modified in the user interface. By default, the value is “false”. false
dbColumnSize Set the size of the database field where the value is stored.
By default, fields are stored in a database column with 256 characters in size. Because your data length might be bigger than 256 characters, the administrator should update the default column size.
Take a look at the Metadata XML definition documentation section for a detailed explanation of metadata storage in the OpenKM database.
defaultAccess Default security access policy. By default, it is set to “grant”, so all users will see the property.
