Thank you for your response. I found a solution for my problem:

I created the field from list settings. I selected a multiline text with plain text as field choice. Then I opened my sharepoint list using Infopath and added the field to my form. The 255 character text limit is gone.

Hope this can help someone.

Hi - to the best of my knowledge, there is no way around this.

255 Character limitation for a Textbox in Sharepoint List

Hi All,

I have a list that I am customizing using Infopath 2010. Do you have any idea how to overcome the 255 char limitation? I understand that this is possible for document libraries. When you create a new column of type Multiple Lines of Text, you get the option to select the ‘Allow unlimited length in document libraries’ check box. However this is not possible for lists.

Is there a solution other than using a rich text box which is not supported by all web browsers.

Thank you,

Anas
