number of characters for replies

Thanks Yra but i am not finding that. I found the Edit Text Field page where 40000 is listed as the max value for character but still when someone post a reply to a discussion, there is a notice saying that there should be max of 4000.

Yra,

There is no Developer app > fields

What I see on developer are icons for 5 these choices:

Settings, polyglot, forms, navigation, pages

The version I am using of UNA is

Version: 11.0.3 Installed: 12 Apr 2019

Yra

Here is the path:

developer> forms> field> system> comment post form> text> edit field > data length Max value.

However that is already set to 40000.

And still when a reply comment is made in discussion, we are getting a red warning which states

Please enter 1-5000 characters.

UNA is ignoring the 40000 input at the edit fields dialog box

There must be another place where this can adjusted

LeonidS,

The limit given in the warning is 5000, not 4000 as I mentioned above. I adjusted the query and filed it and also cleared cash in studio but nothing changed when i tested to see if it would accept an amount over 5000 spaces.

Here is the query followed by the reply (I used phpmyadmin)

UPDATE `sys_objects_cmts` SET `CharsPostMax`=5000 WHERE `Name`='bx_forum' LIMIT 1;

Returned this answer:

UPDATE `sys_objects_cmts` SET `CharsPostMax`=4000 WHERE `Name`='bx_forum' LIMIT 1;

Studio > Developer > Forms > Drop Down to System > In System Name column, you will see Comment. Click on 2 displays link under Displays column for Comment. You will see Comment Post Form > Then in Fields Column, click on 7 Fields. You will then see System Name column...scroll down to Text and click the Pencil icon to edit the field. 

Change Check for from Data Length to Data Availability. It will by pass checking character count and only checks to make sure that at least 1 character was entered and cannot be blank. It will no longer check to make sure you are not over 5000 characters. You will not need to do any sql commands for this to work so don't worry about running the commands you were told to use.

Jeremy,

Thanks. However it is not allowing me to save that. Please see circled areas on the form.

The title you need to enter is Comment

Jeremy,

That is Super!

Classic method - Should be noted for the record.

Thanks!

This is what solved the problem of limited text input for comments in discussions.

Studio > Developer > Forms > Drop Down to System > In System Name column, you will see Comment. Click on 2 displays link under Displays column for Comment. You will see Comment Post Form > Then in Fields Column, click on 7 Fields. You will then see System Name column...scroll down to Text and click the Pencil icon to edit the field.

See attached images. Set everything as marked in the images.

Once you access the Edit "Test" Field dialog box make sure everything is set as per the images attached.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
