# Description

Use the field object type to hold text or to provide a place for the user to enter text.

Fields can contain styled text (with different fonts, sizes, styles, and colors for different parts of the text they contain). A field can be displayed with or without horizontal and vertical scrollbars, and can be unlocked (allowing the user to enter text) or locked.

A field is contained in a card, group, or background. Fields cannot contain other objects.
