A follow-up. I upload the same form on kc.humanitarian.... and the truncation is not happening. My wish is to work with ODK central.

Truncation used to happen with Aggregate but there's nothing in ODK Central that would explain truncation. I've just successfully collected 36 points with 1632 characters. Can you please share a screenshot or where you are seeing truncation?

Thanks @LN. Indeed I have gone back and checked. I was opening the CSV file with excel and it wouldn't process beyond 256. It thus appeared truncated. Processing with python shows all data is in. Thanks for looking in to it though.
