    Is there a way to remove the edit capacity/toolbar in a long text response from the applicant.  i.e. I don't want the applicant to be able to bold or change font size in their response - can the toolbar access be removed.

    You can change this in field properties settings > Under Options tab > Change the editor mode to "Plain Text".

    Thank you - however my Options tab does not look like that. It only reads "Entry Limits" which is set to yes max 100 words and Validation. There is no Editor Mode or plain text option in the Long Text Properties. Any other ideas?

    Hi there!

    Happy to help!

    I figured you are talking about this form: https://www.jotform.com/200285741300241

    It is a card form that's why some properties are different here. See this screenshot to see how to remove text formatting option:
