Text area
Capture multi-line notes or descriptions.
Overview
Capture multi-line notes or descriptions. It transforms operator input into a labeled domain value while preserving recoverable input through validation, delay and offline queuing.
When to use
Use HE/Text area when you need to capture multi-line notes or descriptions. Keep its role distinct from transport freshness, animal-health severity and model confidence.
Example

Anatomy stays identical in Pasture and Atlantic. A responsive layout may wrap or stack parts, but reading order and focus order remain equivalent.

- Keep touch targets at least 44 × 44 px unless the target is an inline text link.
