Character limit on pagination field is too small

[kkatemoffatt]

What isn’t working as expected on the website?

We are running out of room in the pagination field because we have some entries with many, many volumes and so a very long pagination. Ideally there would be no character limit on the pagination field, but if there needs to be, we need it to be significantly higher (maybe 10 times higher than what it is now?)

Please be provide some more information: how does it stop you? Is there an error message? What is the actual data you're trying to put in the field?

It's a field where we can type freely (I can't remember the proper name for this!), but it simply won't let you continue typing when you reach 200 characters. There is no error message, which makes me think it's a character limit.

The data for this field is the number of pages in each volume of the title. If a book has five volumes, its pagination would look something like this: I x, 243; II xii, 224; III vii, 301; IV xx, 295; V x, 356

We run into problems when a book has a lot of volumes (we have some with 50); the text box doesn't have enough room.
