When you're creating the table, you need to choose the "Multi-line string" if you wish to have more than 255 characters in the cell.
For already created tables, though, changing the type will not affect existing columns. You would also need to find that table in the database, and change the structure of that column. So, simply change the type from "VARCHAR" to "TEXT", and also make sure to remove the character limit.
Hi,
It seems like I'm running into a 255-character limit in a string cell. Is there a way to override this?
Thanks.
