Overview

Long Text holds paragraph-length values: a description, an AI prompt, a summary, a block of notes you want to live in a cell. It behaves like Text in every way that matters for filtering and automation, but the editor is a multi-line box that grows with the content, and a copy button appears once the field has a value.
Long Text is not the same as Notes. Notes is a rich-text document stored separately and referenced by the record; Long Text is a plain string stored on the record itself. That difference is what makes Long Text readable by AI auto-fill as record context, an auto-fill agent can read and write a Long Text value directly.

Configuration

Leave both empty for no limit.

What it stores

A single plain-text string, with line breaks preserved. No formatting, links, or embedded media, reach for a Notes block when you need rich text.

Filtering

Equals, does not equal, contains, does not contain, starts with, ends with, is empty, is not empty. The same operators as Text.

Examples

  • A Description on a product or deal that runs to a few sentences.
  • The instructions you hand to an AI agent, kept on the record so each one can carry its own prompt.
  • A summary written by an auto-fill agent from a call transcript.
In a table view a Long Text cell truncates to one line so rows stay scannable. Open the record, or widen the column, to read the whole value.
