Does anyone know the character limit on the multi line text catalog variable?

Hi Rhonda,



For variables there is no limit and allows you to as many lines you like.



Thanks!

Hi Rhonda,



5.3 Text Field Character Counter


By default, multi-line text fields have a 4000 character limit. To help users see how many characters remain before they reach the limit, administrators can enable theglide.ui.textarea.character_counter property. This property adds a counter under text fields, such as the Additional Comments and Work notes fields. The counter is dynamically updated as users enter text.

Hope it helps.


Is this also true of a variable?   On a catalog item with a multi-line text variable, I'm trying to find the limit, but in just typing a continual character in the text area, i'm up to over 8000 characters.
