Hi, "StringLimit" is for individual strings. "BufferSize" is for the total size of the payload in the output. The last error refers to this. AFAIK both of these are currently EE only.
You can truncate a string with the following for example: Exec $myfield = substr($myfield, 0, 1000); Regards, Botond On Tue, 28 Jun 2016 09:34:48 +0000 <marcella.voigtlaen...@tk.de> wrote: > Hi, > > I want to truncate a text field if it is longer than 32766 Bytes.
