Every field type available for your records, from plain text to currency, rich editors, and record links.

Updated August 13, 2026

When you add a field you pick its type, and the type decides how the field is entered, displayed, filtered, and validated. Choose carefully, because a field's type is locked once it's created.

Textarea A few sentences without formatting

Email, Link, and a few other types can also hold multiple values per record when you enable it in the field's settings. That's how the built-in Emails field stores several addresses for one person.
