Doug,

"The submitted answer was too long." message is displayed when a submission
receives an award of "TOO_LONG" in the case of a submission for one of the following response types:

numericalresponse, forumularesponse or stringresponse.

The limit of 500 characters is hard-coded in default_homework.lcpm.

According to the commit logs this was added 5/23/2003 to address bug #941, because of a constraint from the CAPA engine, which is used to evaluate correctness for numericalresponse, stringresponse (excluding regular expression matches), and formularesponse (excluding those using Maxima, now the default).

See:
http://mail.lon-capa.org/pipermail/lon-capa-cvs/Week-of-Mon-20030519/003989.html

Note: as things standard currently the limit of 500 characters still applies to formularesponse, even if the maxima CAS is used to evaluate correctness, and not the CAPA engine.

Quoting "Mills, Douglas G" <dmi...@illinois.edu>:

HI All,

Can anyone clue me in on what triggers the "The submitted answer was too long." message -- what is "too long" and can that be adjusted? Is the "too long" answer stored and just not accepted? OR is it truncated? Thanks!
