Question:
The "Text" type of field has a limit of 1500 characters in Vault. The customer wants to enter a text block in the field and the system throws an error that it has exceeded the limit.
The text is calculated as 1492 characters with spaces in Word.
But apparently, the Vault calculates it as more than 1500 characters. How characters are calculated in "Text" type of object field in Vault?
Answer:
Newline is also counted as a character. For example:
123
456
789
Would count as 11 characters since it has two newlines between 3 & 4 and 6 & 9.
So the customer's text is calculated as over 1500 characters counting the newlines.Related Documentation:
