Hi!We are using OD 6.1.1, TS 6.5 SP2.We would like to know the max limit of the attribute "maxlength" in text item.If we don't specify the "maxlength", what will be the default?How can we specify the "maxlength" as unlimited?RegardsArash
There's no maxlength defined but sometimes back a user was facing some problem after 300 characters when he was not defining maxlength. Although from my experience it should work fine but it's always a good practice to define a maxlength (approx)...
We just got bit by this last night - apparently this changed somewhere along the way as the customer had pre-existing DCRs where there was 707 characters placed within a text field, but now - TS6.5SP3 on Solaris - when we tried to copy the text from the pre-existing DCR to a new one (don't ask) - we found the text being cut-off at 300 characters - and sure enough, if you do a View Source of the DCT form you'll see that there is a maxlength of 300 specified for the text field when no such limitation was defined in the datacapture.cfg file.If I explicitly set the maxlength to 800 - that's what I get - a maxlength of 800.If I set it to "" in the DCT (as was suggested) - it goes back to 300If I set it to "0" in the DCT - it goes back to 300.So - if you want to be able to capture more than 300 characters in a text field - you need to explicitly set the maxlength to a value greater than 300 in the DCT.
