### Properties

**Admin Display** – a descriptive name to identify the Question within the System.

**Asset Data** – see [this page](/product-suite/admin/entities/asset-data.md) for more details.

**Min Characters** - define the minimum number of allowed characters for the question. Default value will be zero (no limit).&#x20;

**Max Characters** - define the maximum number of allowed characters for the question. Default value will be zero (no limit).&#x20;

**Multi-line** - check this box to allow multiple lines of text to be entered.

**Mandatory** - check this box to make input into this field mandatory.

**Record Value** - if checked the value will be added to the recorded text.<br>

{% hint style="info" %}
Each single line text question input accepts input and pasting of up to 512 characters. Typing over 512 characters is prevented. Each multiline question accepts virtually unlimited amounts of text&#x20;

There is a limit of 1500 characters in the recorded text. We recommend therefore that you use the Max Characters option to control the total number of characters returned if necessary.
