Model-Driven app with Dataverse table / 'Limit of 6000 characters reached', but not really

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by AliceW 290

Hello everyone,

I have this Dataverse table with a column as Rich text with a 6000 characters limit.

I fill this field in a model-driven app, by 'copy - paste as text' a string. Buuut I got the 'limit reached' warning, and when I checked in Word, the text, including the spaces, was 5600 characters.

What gives?

Thanks,

Alice

    Hi

     

    It looks like it counts the html characters. I checked this field with a 500 character limit and the following results in 496 characters..

    i.e.

    <div class="ck-content" data-wrapper="true" dir="ltr" style="--ck-image-style-spacing: 1.5em; --ck-inline-image-style-spacing: calc(var(--ck-image-style-spacing) / 2); --ck-color-selector-caption-background: hsl(0, 0%, 97%); --ck-color-selector-caption-text: hsl(0, 0%, 20%); font-family: 'Segoe UI','Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><div>This is a beginner introductory course for power apps fdfd fdfd fdfd dfdfdf dfdfdf dfdfdf dfdfdfd dfdfd gfgfg fgfgf fgfgfg fgfgfg gfg</div></div>

     

     

    You can either change to plain text or add a buffer in your rich text control max count

    Thank you, Am! I wouldn't have thought of this!

    I'm increasing the field to 8000 characters. I thought 6000 was the limit, but I can, in fact, increase it.
