Long Text Box Character Limitation

In my project, I have a field with a long text input. It is mapped to an Airtable field, also long text.

Yesterday when I tested it, the text box wouldn’t accept more than 500 characters. I remember this accepting much longer texts two weeks earlier.

Am I doing something wrong or has something changed?

Thanks a lot

Hello SenRath, I experienced the same issue — I was receiving job postings with a large amount of text. The problem seems to be related to the newly introduced “Validation” option in the field settings.

I was able to fix it by temporarily setting a character limit, saving the changes, and then deleting the limit and saving/publishing again. It looks like Softr has applied a default 500-character limit to fields as part of their recent update.

Hi Sebastiaan!

Thanks.

I had messaged softr help and they also said it was a Validation issue and that they fixed it. (their message “I checked, and it had a validation, which I removed. Now it should work”).

Are you using the newer version of Softr, because my settings appear different. I am still using the legacy version.
