Text field is cutting off content

HI,
I have a text field sent to max characters of 2000 and it's cutting off content. I can't find any documentation that says there's a character limit on the fields. What's going on?

Text field is varchar 255 in database. It can't have more than 255 characters. Text fields aren't meant for long text. If you need long text please use a Textarea field.

Suggestion: Put that in the docs

At this point my only option is to redo all of the bios, right? Is there a way to change text field to text area? Maybe somewhere in the back end?

There's no UI to change a fieldtype once it's saved. To change a fields type you'll need to edit within _comprofiler_fields and change it to a textarea. Once done run CB fields tools check and it'll tell you it's of wrong column type so it can be changed from varchar to mediumtext.

Thanks - that's going to save me a bunch of time!
