    In Airtable, long text fields provide more space for text-based information when a single line text field is not large enough. Information in long text fields can be additionally formatted by enabling rich text. You can even generate content in long text fields by configuring AI prompts in long text fields. Whatever your use case, long text fields help to provide more insight about the records you are working with in Airtable.
