# Text
The Text field is the most basic fields and is the most self explanatory. It is simply a text field which you can enter data in via a keyboard or other input devices like scanners etc.\
### Initial Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Choose Upper Case/Mixed Case Option | Used to determine if the data being entered defaults to uppercase or not uppercase |
| Optional Default Value | This is a value that will appear in the field when it initialises, be it from a page load, or from appearing due to a Conditional Visibility.
It will also reset to this value after the form submits.
