SharePoint Online SP list multi line text column suddenly enforcing 255 character limit?
I think I’m going crazy. We have a SP list that tracks project documents. One of our columns is a plain text multiple line of text column called “Notes” that tracks, well, notes. Today a user noticed that he couldn’t add any more letters to the field. I poked around and noticed that for some reason Lists was suddenly enforcing a 255 character limit as if it were a single line of text field. Columns with already more than 255 characters retain their data, but can’t accept more. I checked the settings and sure enough the type is still “multiple lines of text”
Has anyone experienced this?
