Form text field to Flow to SharePoint character limits

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a Flow that is taking responses from a Form and creating a SharePoint item.

When the text entry to some of the responses is over 255 characters the Flow errors out, even though the character cap for the short responses is 400.

I have tried manually pasting the data into the SharePoint list and it accepts the longer than 255 characters just fine in the list.

 

Is there something in the Flow back end that will not let it move around anything larger than 255 characters? Or is there some other work around to try?
