I inherited the site I am working on and the forms were already built. I am looking through and trying to learn Chronoforms V5. I am trying to find how to increase the characters allowed in one of my forms textarea. I have looked through the forms code and see where the Remarks text box is but have no idea how to increase characters. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi creativeone,
​
There is no limit set by default on a textarea. How exactly do you see that there is a limit?
​
There is a Max Length setting in the TextArea element; or possibly the data is being saved to a database table with a VARCHAR column setting that crops the data on saving.

The form is set to allow client to edit from the frontend and when he tries to add content to the textarea box, it cuts him off after what looks like 150 or 250 characters. I can't find anything in the code or admin of the form that allows you to change this. Looking in the database, I don't see a field that matches this certain field. So I am not seeing a VARCHAR in the db for it.

You need a login to be able to do anything with it but I attached a screen shot in case it helps. If you have a way for me to give you login privately, let me know.

In the database, chronoforms, table with Remarks looks like this. If it helps.

There's nothing in that code that shows a character limit.
