Sharepoint column character limit
Hi All, Is it possible to increase the number of characters that a Sharepoint column accepts? It gives me an error message that it only accepts 255 characters. Thanks, Francisco
I think you are using Single line of text column which only supports 255 characters in a single line and you cannot increase this limit for these columns.
Solution: Use Multiple lines of text (plain text) column which can store up to 63,999 characters, and you can specify the number of lines of text that you want to display when people enter information about an item.
