Did you manually create the table, or import/link the data from a data source?
It is possible the column got set as "VARCHAR" data type (single-line string) , which has a default character length of 255 characters.
If possible, try to change the column Data Type from "Single-line string" to "Multi-line string". That will save the column as TEXT type (in the database) instead of VARCHAR and you'll be able to enter up to 65.000 characters in each cell.
Please contact us if still not resolved, or you need any kind of further assistance.
