We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
I can't seem to find a "Character limit" option when setting the edit options for a column in WPDT...This would prevent the user right from the start from entering the wrong length string instead of throwing an error which not all users might be able to understand, nor would they know the max length of characters the field expects.
Hi there.
The type and the character limit of database tables is only available when the table is being created:
After that, the column is already written in the database, so a WordPress plugin (wpDataTables) can't make any further changes to existing database columns. You can add a new column, and define the limit in there:
The only way of modifying existing columns would be to access the database, locate the table, and edit the structure Tab, so the column you want to change the character limit for is edited through there:
I hope that helps.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
