Is there a way to increase the caption field character limit?

#142 opened by 5BYFIVE

Description

I'm using an Ansel field for a slideshow. I'm using the built in caption field for captions/descriptions. Some of the client-provided descriptions are too long and hitting a character limit. Can this character limit be bumped up? Thanks!

    The column in the database is varchar 255 so the maximum amount that can go in that column is 255 characters at this time. You could hack the column, and I think I have validators to make sure not more than 255 characters can go in that field. Honestly It's probalby not worth doing that. I'd probably consider some different way of doing it, perhaps Ansel in a Grid field.

    Thanks TJ, I'll have them shorten the descriptions.
