Notes

In order to input/edit a Data Item, the editing permission at the Task must have been set to “Editable”
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
If you select “Markdown” as the [Form Type], you can easily express headings, lists, links, emphasis, etc. using symbols and character combinations (R1020, R1021)
- [Preview] shows the rendered result of the Markdown text
The initial value in a String-type Data Item is limited to 8000 characters and an error occurs if exceeded
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
Using the “Questetra Form JavaScript API“, you can also get/assign input field values and register event handlers
