Yes - no. There is a limit, see documentation: http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.4/Field-and-variable-objects.300-3285416.en.html "Note: Text variables and fields in forms are designed to display contents of a "reasonable" size. Beyond several tens of thousands of characters (depending on the system), only part of the text will be accessible in the form." The documentation does not describe the length in detail, as it depends from OS (Mac/Win) and from the OS version. Last time I tested it was 100.000 on Windows 10 and 1 Million on macOS 10.11 (with 4D v15.1). Could be more/less on other systems, versions. Note (4D v15 or newer, older not tested): try select all/copy&paste -> you will get the full text Only the first part is displayed. This is designed for chronics. Enter new data on top - data at the bottom seems to disappear, but when you save it, it is still there. See it as kind of display "window". ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
