The issue here isn't actually FormBuilder, it's DataObject. The createTables.php script sets the type of those fields to DB_DATAOBJECT_STR instead of DB_DATAOBJECT_TXT. You can either alter your database.ini to make them type DB_DATAOBJECT_TXT or put a textFields array in the DataObject listing the text fields. > > At any rate, to set elementTypeMap through the database.formBuilder.ini > file, what's the exact syntax? > I tried: > elementTypeMap = shorttext:text,longtext:textarea > but nothing happened.
