How to display text areas in the form instead of input fields - BEXIS2/Core GitHub Wiki
To enforce a text area you have to define maxLength in the xsd, which is above 256
example for input field (maxLength below 256 or not given!):
<xsd:simpleType name="stringEmptyShort">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:minLength value="0" />
<xsd:maxLength value="256" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:simpleType name="stringNotEmptyShort">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:minLength value="1" />
<xsd:maxLength value="256" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
example for text area (maxLength above 256)
<xsd:simpleType name="stringEmptyLong">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:minLength value="0" />
<xsd:maxLength value="10000" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:simpleType name="stringNotEmptyLong">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:minLength value="1" />
<xsd:maxLength value="10000" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
