EF: please make multiapp function available for text areas

Multiapp currently isn't available for text areas in e forms. I'm not sure if that is new or it has always been this way as we haven't used multiapp in eforms much in the past. I can't think of why it wouldn't be available for text areas? It is creating an issue for our OP therapy department as they have to put their patient goals on several different forms. Their goals are set up as text areas as they are multiple lines. There are several goals and they are often long and take a while to type out. Oddly when I put a db code in the text area set up it shows as "multiapp" (even though there is no check box for it) but the data entered into these text areas does not copy forward.
