I’ve had a Notes Field in my GLide App for years that did not have a size or character limit, then this morning I went to add a note and I get this error.
What is causing this? It’s a Notes Field there is no limit in the details.
Do you have empty spaces or line break?

I’ll check. Stand by.

I’m cutting and pasting an email. So yes, there are line breaks for sure. No empty line breaks at the top or bottom though. If I paste it as plain text I get the same error.
Is it possible that your text is very large? There’s a 1MB database cell limit which is about one million characters.
Digging through the code that triggers that warning, it appears that the limit is 2500 bytes. Not characters, but bytes. Normal characters are just a single byte each, but something like an emoji character is actually several bytes. So yeah, it’s actually quite a small limit.

I’ve been adding long email threads to this field for three years - far more than 2500 bytes and this error just showed up yesterday. Is this a new limitation?
