Text Area field character limit?

Hi folks,

Does anybody know the character limit to the Text Area field type? I've looked in the documentation and I can't find anything about those kinds of things.

Thanks,

Delwin

Re: Text Area field character limit?

I believe there are actually 2 answers.

  • From a form post: 32000
  • From API or GUI: 65535

This suggests that the database is using a VARCHAR(65535) but you don't always get access to that much.

My recollection is that the character limit is 3200 for a text area.

I guess it is since you marked me correct.
