Description
What it does
Provides a resizable, multi-line text input field that allows users to enter and edit longer freeform text responses.
Where it appears
Consultation response forms, stakeholder notes, meeting summary fields, feedback submissions, and any form context requiring paragraph-length input.
Why it exists
Single-line inputs create poor affordance and usability for longer content. The text area signals to users that extended responses are expected and provides the vertical space to compose them comfortably.
