Text area
Text areas allow users to enter larger portions of text, typically as part of a form. Unlike the Rich Text Editor, there is no additional functionality or formatting within Text areas.
Usage
Text areas are used for collecting 2 or more lines of free-form text.

Example
Display options
Required
This will prevent any form submission until the required selection is made.
Readonly
Readonly inputs are typically recommended to use when they provide information that a user shouldn't edit, but makes sense in the logical order of the form. (e.g. A state input may be readonly based on certain business restrictions, but the street and province or state are freely editable.)
Disabled
Not recommended, has serious accessibility implications.
