Dynamic Input Truncation

Is there a way to stop the Dynamic input tool from Truncating cells that contain more than 256 Characters? I have changed the string length settings within the dynamic input tool options to 1000 but the cell still seems to cut off after 256 characters.

Hi @danchips24 ,

It can help if  you share sample file .  What is the  column name in this file  with  more than 256 chars ?

Hi @danchips24 ,

 

This could be happening due to the field types in your template file.

Let me know if that works for you.

 

Best,

I realized that changing the String Length actually did work, you just cannot see the full contents of the cells in the Alteryx Results Window. Once I pushed the output to Tableau everything seemed to appear. Thanks for the help!

Actually you can see it in Alteryx, you just need to add a Browse tool after your Dynamic Input.
