Summary	0006398: No warning received to indicate NOTE has been truncated on insert into DB
Description	From what I have looked at it seems that the type TEXT or BLOB is going to be limitted by a few factors and in my specific case is limites to 64K. This limitation ,as any other field limitation, is fine. The problem is that the user is allowed to paste text that is much longer than 64K. When issue is updated the text is truncated (as expected) BUT there is no warning of user feedback to indicate the note has been truncated.
Tags	No tags attached.

dregad 2025-05-05 03:26 developer ~0070217	the type TEXT or BLOB is going to be limitted by a few factors and in my specific case is limites to 64K Without specific details about what few factors are causing the 64K limit and data truncation in your system, and considering that based on my tests it is technically possible to copy/paste very large texts (> 1 MB), I'm closing this as unable to reproduce. Also, we are planning to introduce a new configuration option that will effectively limit the size of user-facing long text fields, which I believe will satisfy the requirement.
