Hello, I have an embedded data field that has a large text string. The data saves fine, and is correct. When I download my responses though, the string is truncated. How can I prevent this?

What is the file format of the download and what are you using to open it once it is downloaded?

Two possible explanations:

  1. Perhaps the data is wrapping rather than truncating. Check to make sure you check the ‘Remove line breaks’ option.
  2. The app you are using to open/view the csv is truncating the string. To confirm, try opening the csv with another app (like Notepad++) to see if the entire string is in the download file.
