What do you mean by "through the CMS"? Are you talking about appadmin? What type of field is it? If it is a string field, the default max is 512 characters. For a text field, it should be 65536 characters, though there may have been a recent bug affecting that (see https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/L_m6Ny1PRvo/discussion). You can change the max length of a string or text field by specifying the 'length' argument in the field definition (see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Record-Representation). You can also enforce length requirements in forms via the IS_LENGTH validator. Anthony
