Hi all,
I had just been researching on the different character limits for data types. So from my understanding of text data type, these are the following limits.
Text - 255 characters
Long Text - 4000 characters
Extra Long Text - 64000 characters
To my knowledge these are the 3 available options for any VARCHAR in record types, I was just wondering if this information is correct, wanting clarification please.
Couldn't really find a clear answer on the limits.
Note: I believe that for record types, there's a limitation for Extra Long Text, limited to only 3 fields within a record type that's allowed to have the Extra Long Text data type.

These limits apply to synced records and any text exceeding these limits will be truncated.You can find this limitation when you configure fields in a record (see below).

And, keep in mind, that these "characters" are actually bytes. So, if you want to store emojis only, you have to divide the number by 4 as each emoji takes 4 bytes to store.
