Hi S123,

When building a form through the web designer, it appears that only 31 characters are allowed on a 'Select Multiple' question's domain.

When viewing the published AGOL hosted feature layer's schema, the field says it's character length is 1000 which contradicts what the S123 designer's schema says and the domain list is also not available which contradicts the premise of an AGOL item.

In addition, there is no way to access the domain's "label" to view the readable name for that feature which causes issues whern rendering this information in dashboards or other applications. We're stuck with a truncated answer and there is no way to change this setting. 

Limited domain length:

Please evaluate this funcionality in the web designer. 

 

Thank you,

A select multiple field length refers to the fact that it is a comma separated list. So 5 selections all turn into a single string. That's what the field length should be referring to.

I believe this character limit exists within Connect as well.

Is there a reason that you need more characters for the the name? Typically, I'd think you'd want the name column to be short-hand. E.g., for bird names, we use their Alpha code in that column:

Accessing those lists in Portal has always been an issue though (at least for me). Would be nice if you could actually "open" the list in Portal to view name/label of items. Also, being able to swap between "name" and "label" in the Data tab would be nice.
