Pretty simple question I figured would have been answered a half dozen times already. I have a single line text box that seems to prevent a user from submitting a form with some URLs the enter. The guess is that there might be some type of character limitation on the text box itself even though we have the column the datacard writes to set to a Max length of 2040. Is that the case?
@Future_Vision In my test below the textinput has 2879 characters!
@CNT Hmmm. What would cause a text input to not allow a URL in some cases?
@Future_Vision Can you confirm if your Textinput takes the whole URL text by doing a Count(Len(textinput.Text)).
@CNT Formula won't work.
Count(Len(URL_TB.Text))
Says it is expecting a table value
I can do use this formula and it returns a number. So it is taking the additional characters but just fails to
Len(URL_TB.Value)
It looks like there is a 100 character threshold. When I get to 101 characters then the form doesn't validate because that field, which is required, is not valid.
@CNT
Question. I think I may have found the issue. I thought I had set the datafield in the DV table to accept 2040 characters but it looks like it is set to 100. Here is the issue. After the update it appears the new version of the app functions properly but the one that is already published still fails after 100 characters are inputted. Are the old settings saved to this published app? I know if I change the actual data in the tale that is instantly updated but are the settings as well?
@Future_Vision It's a good idea to refresh the data source after any changes and republish the App.
Please remember to give a thumbs-up and accept the solution as it will help others in the future.
@CNT What is currently published is an older version. I'm working on a new version. I think I need to restore the old and then publish it and then restore the version I am currently working on to continue working it. Is that about right?
@Future_Vision Assuming that you are taliking about just one App, you don´t need to do any restore. Just publish the version that´s working and the changes will get reflected automatically.
