RTC text field questions - Q&A
![]()
I'm posting an internal conversation to the forum for general use:
1.) Do RTC text fields have a size limit? the maximum size of RTC text fields (type: Long String) is 32768 2.) Do RTC text fields have special character limits, can you type in * ( ) & etc? all characters are allowed 3.) Does RTC enable content queries, on attachments? RTC does support fulltext queries on attachments of type plain text, xml and html |

Comments Much obliged Sam. I expect the Comment attribute is Large HTML?
For the new List attributes, String Lists contain Medium strings - 1000 bytes of text.

![]() I'm posting an internal conversation to the forum for general use: Question I posted this before my colleague found this, are there any publicly available details of the limitations on RTC fields? I notice that in RTC2 we were using description and I'm sure it was a Long String (32K bytes) and now in RTC3 the same field appears to be a large HTML, does this imply that we've got more characters to play with? Further details would be welcome, thanks |

I raised this as an enhancement request, which had a response relating to the field leghth sizes. In addition there is an open enhancement for providing, extended description field length but you'd kind of hope that this would be available for custom attributes too.
