Force Plain Text Only in Multiline Input

[adam39]

I am collecting text input from users but it must be in plain text format, because I am using their text value inputs in a JSON script, to update an external document. I do not want to use the standard Text Input box because that does not “word wrap” in the input box. I do not want to use the standard Multiline Text Input box because formatting characters (such as Bold, Italic, Bullet Points, New Lines and New Paragraphs) would break my JSON formatting.

Is there a way to have a Multiline Text box - or a text input box which allows word wrapping - that ONLY accepts Plain Text Characters?

Thanks!
Adam

The Multiline input only accepts plain text.

That is not true. Multiline Text accepts New Line, Paragraph, Tab and other characters. I found a way to “cleanse” the text input using Regex but it is not elegant.
