Hi gurus,

I have a textarea on one of my document-types. If I write approx. 300 characters in this field on a MVC-form on my website - I get an error telling me that it will be truncated. If I paste the same text into the field from Umbraco-backend it will store the data correctly.

In the model I have declared the field like this:

    [Required]
    public string Comment { get; set; }

In the cshtml-file I am referencing the field like this:

 @Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Comment, new { @class = "form-control", placeholder = "Kommentar" })

And in the controller I have this public function:

        public ActionResult HandleFormSubmit(AthletePostCommentFormViewModel model)
    {
        //
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            return CurrentUmbracoPage();

        //Create content
        var newRecord = Services.ContentService.CreateContent(model.Comment, CurrentPage.Id, "federationCommentNode");
        newRecord.SetValue("comment", model.Comment);
        newRecord.SetValue("createdBy", Membership.GetUser().UserName);

        Services.ContentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(newRecord);

        TempData["success"] = true;
        return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
    }

I have googled for solutions and found one where the datatype was wrong in the SQL-database and table CMSDataType, but my field is a Ntext as described in those solutions.

My Umbraco version is 7.14.0 - anybody have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? It might be something simple, as my skills as a programmer is very low :-)
