Form 255 character limit

Permalink
Hi,

Is there a way to bypass 255 character limit in the "Question" field when creating a form?

The database field type for this is varchar(255) so you would have to change the database schema, and possibly change any validation there is on that field at the block edit level.

Yes, that makes sense. I wonder if I could get past that somehow since for this particular website I don't have access to the back end. For example, what if I write some JavaScript in that field and query text from another page somehow. I know, that sounds like a duct tape move.

Because the database field is limited to 255 characters there is no way to stuff more into it than that without access to the database or website files.

Alright sounds good. I'll mess around with it, but I won't get my hopes up. I was able to put some html tags in the question field, so I know I can embed code without getting into files or db. Thanks.

Ok, expanded size from 255 to "question" field in
form_setup_html.php
db.xml
and database table btFormQuestions, column "question" datatype
