Workflow TextArea field

The TextArea field provides a multi-line text input. When the type attribute is set to html, the field can contain and render HTML content.

Attribute Description Required
label The text shown as a label in the user interface. true
name A unique field identifier.
Two fields cannot have the same name in the same task definition. The name must be unique.
true
type Type value. Allowed types:
- text.
- html.
value The default value for the component. false
width The width of the HTML element.
In the case of KCenter, the UI must use width values based on percentages, for example:
- width=“50%” will work
- width=“100px” will be ignored in the KCenter UI.
false
height The height of the HTML element. false
description General description. false
data When present, an identifier is used to dynamically load the value. false
visible This attribute only makes sense when used in conjunction with an object mapped in the data attribute; the visible value of the object mapped in the data is assigned to the form field, causing it to be shown or hidden (the most common use is to hide it). The default value of visible is true. false
readonly When true, the field cannot be modified in the user interface. Default is false. false
