Notes
If you enable the Required option, you will not be able to Save Changes in editor mode until you have entered some text. An example error message is shown below. Alternatively, you can click Cancel to discard the changes.
This field does not support line breaks, so it will ignore the Enter (Return) key. If you paste in text which has line breaks, all the line breaks are converted to spaces.
