Playbook Form question truncated

[Yopisn]

Hello,

I have a playbook that is used on Workspace.

I use custom activities in my playbook to display forms with questions defined in Playbook Data Definitions.

However, there is a limitation of 50 characters for the question label, and I need at least 100 characters for question labels.

I found questions (or variables) are stored in table sys_flow_data_var. Thus, I increased the maxLength property of the label field from 50 to 150.

I am able to set longer questions in the Data Definition > Flow Data Variables records, but unfortunately, it is still truncated to 80 characters when displayed on the Workspace. Not sure why 80 since the field maxLength was initially 50.

Anyway, any idea how I can fix that?

Thanks

Hi, I had similar issue a couple months ago. I coudn't get it to accept more than 80 characters in my PDI back then just like you.

One way to get around that, in case your solution uses any task related table, is to use variables attached to your record and then show the record  using a user form activity. You can scroll down to "Form fields" and then select "variables". This display all variables attached to the associated record. Might not be suitable for you, but thought I'd let you know this is possible.

Thank you Hugo for your reply. Unfortunately, I cannot use this workaround, I am using flow data records in my solution.
