Hey the community.
I face with a pb with multi-select field type. I use options to store sentences. Unless I’m mistaken, it seems that you have a limit with the length of an option: 255 characters. Do you agree? Is there any trick to solve this limit?
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to the community, Jean-Yves! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: You might consider using a link field pointing to items from another table instead of a multi-select. You can convert your existing multi-select to a link field, and Airtable will make entries in your new table for each item, but only if that item is actually chosen at least once in the existing multi-select field.

Thanks Justin. :pray: I’ll test your solution.
