All text widgets are multiline, however you have to type C-j to add new lines, as <RET> is bound to “activate button”…
You just have to rebind <RET> to its original meaning inside the field by overwriting the :action attribute.
(define-widget 'multiline-text 'text
"Text field spanning multiple lines."
:action (lambda (&rest ignore)
(call-interactively
(lookup-key widget-global-map (this-command-keys)))))(widget-create 'multiline-text :value "\n\n\n\n")
(widget-setup)
