What is this called in FileMaker

[robbyracer]

Hi all, I'm designing a database to track the progress of projects and I need a field in which I can enter notes about what stage a project is in. I've been reading about portals but I think that's overkill for what I need but I could be wrong though. What I'd love is a filed that I can just enter lines of text in. I tried to make fields and just repeat them but the data is just duplicated when it's entered. Thanks for any advice on how to tackle this.

I'm not sure what the problem is.

Create a text field and expand the width and height to your liking in layout mode. You can add a vertical scroll bar in Format>Field Format. If the cursor is going to the next field when you use the enter or return key go to Format>Field Behavior and look at the options for "Go to next field using".
