 I have a question regarding the text field type within a CDT. This type has a character limit of 255 characters. Is there any way to increase this or is there another type that is used for longer form text such as paragraphs and paragraph fields</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: CDT Text Type</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/83115?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jun 2021 19:04:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:375083fc-292d-42ed-962c-05d3c17d3382</guid><dc:creator>Stefan Helzle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This limit becomes relevant as soon as you persists that CDT to database. Then 4000 is max. For more text, you need to modify the XSD file and add a larger column type like TEXT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CDT Text Type</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/83112?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jun 2021 15:57:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:5880c4fe-71c0-4d4f-8163-6c3090f34443</guid><dc:creator>Chris</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Text length is not limited to 255 characters, that is only the default size when building out your CDT in the GUI.&amp;nbsp; AFAIK, max character length is only limited by your database configuration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To increase, simply type in a higher value in the Length field..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
