Because ColdFusion (and therefore Transfer) doesn't know anything about
database data types. It only knows its own native types. Which means that a
column which is ntext is just a string, the same as a varchar column.

Your Transfer config file defines the field as a string, right?

So when M-G generates the scaffolding, it builds a text input for any string
field. But then, that's why it's "scaffolding." It's not meant to be used
as-is -- just to simplify the building of basic code. So you just go in and
change the inputs to textareas yourself.
