Posted on by kmason 145

Hi,

Is there a way to change the max number of Characters that a list item will allow? I have a hyperlink column but it only allows 255 characters and I need to add more than that, is there a way to do it?

    Hi @kmason,

     

    There is a max number of Characters limit for a sharepoint URL as you said, and we could change the max number of Characters for a sharepoint URL currently.

     

    However, you could refer to workaround below for your situation.

    1. Add a Multi-Text column to your list

    2. Edit the item that has long URL

    3. Go to the Multi-Text field and you will get Rich-Content Ribbon

    4. Click Insert on the Ribbon > Hyperlink

    5. Add your Title and long URL in the respected field

     

     

    Please let me know if your problem could be solved.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
