TextInput with >100 characters will not patch TextArea column in CDS with max length of 500

Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue where a TextInput in my PowerApp will not successfully patch to a TextArea column if the character count exceeds 100. The TextArea Max Length is set to 500.

For reference, the patch is using 'Dispatch Notes': DispatchNotesTextInput.Text

Dispatch Notes is the column in the CDS table with Max Length set to 500.

Using the monitor, there doesn't seem to be an syntax errors and its returning Success 201 rows created, but no row is added to the table.

Any ideas?

I'm not certain this is the cause but I find using the internal name rather than the display name can help. So prefix_dispatchnotes: DispatchNotesTextInput.Text.

Hey Nick,

I tried that out and no success. Same behavior with prefix_dispatchnotes.

I'm at a loss.. What am I missing??

A few years late, but I found the reason this was happening to me and hopefully this helps others with a similar issue!

In Dynamics when you create a text field it defaults to 100 characters. You have to edit the column and twirl down the advanced settings. There you should see "Maximum character count". Change it to something between 100-4000 and you should be good to go!
