Text  | 
The text you want in this field. This is optional. Only type text if you want to specify a default value for the field.  | 
 
Maximum length  | 
The maximum number of characters that can be typed in this field, if you want to limit the length of editable text. If you don't impose a limit that fits the size of the field, and users enter text that is longer than the field, the text will scroll as they type.  |
