What does the component do?
It is used for the entry of larger quantities of text in forms.
When should the component be used?
When the entry of longer text is required from the user.
Rules
The text area always has a label.
A question mark in the circle can also be shown – in addition to the label – for detailed explanations. A tooltip opens when this question mark is clicked on.
The number of characters still available is shown bottom right (outside the text area is disabled).
The basic height can be set when designing the form.
If the text is longer than the basic height of the text area, the element increases in height with the content.
