  • The maximum number of characters that can be entered in one Data Item is 1 million
  • URL format strings (starting with https:// http://) will automatically become links when displayed
    • The format type [Markdown] does not automatically create a link, so you need to use link formatting or HTML

    • [Preview] shows the rendered result of the Markdown text

  • Regular expressions can be used to restrict the input data to specific formats such as email addresses, zip codes, etc.
    • [Regular Expression to be satisfied] is limited to 2000 characters
  • Automated Step [Update Data] can update String-type Data Items with Process data automatically
  • String-type Data Items can be used in conjunction with some automated Steps (such as Message Start Event (email)) to retain data received from external sources
