Essay Question Functionality
143 0 1
Hello there,
We are looking at using an essay question and track responses with xAPI. I believe there is a ~255 character limit for the data that can be collected (not sure if that is on our end, or a SCORM thing?) . The text box lets you type in more than that. Was wondering if there are best practices or suggestions to let the end user know when they have exceeded the character limit for data collection?
Also is there a way to make the response field larger? Currently it appears to display three lines at a time.
Thanks!

This question will send the results to the LMS (SCORM and xAPI). The limit is generally based on the LMS. For dominKnow | ONE, the Essay question type does limit it to 4000 characters by default.
The default size of the box is 3 lines. You could override ALL essay style boxes (not single line but the multi-line by adding CSS to your theme to override the setting:
e.g.,
textarea.form-control {
height: 200px !important;
}
However, be careful with using Theme level CSS settings and fully test them, as they may have unintended consequences.
NOTE: In Claro you can simply resize the Essay entry box to the desired size.
