Hi Guys
I'm using ODK Collect and am designing a form which has a notes question. This field needs to be the maximum character length allowed as people will need to write long notes on what they are observing.
I tried to set this up by adding a 'bind:attribute' column and a row message (row 48) of 'odk:length=16000 but it seems to stick to only 230.
Here is my form, row 48 is the notes question

Thanks!!

Hi @Frances,
The column name must be bind::odk:length and the value in the cell set to 16000

Hi! Thanks. I tried to upload my form to the server and no luck - please could you check my form?

Looking at your xml file, it seems that you're missing the odk xml namespace.
xmlns:odk="http://www.opendatakit.org/xforms"
Attached is what I get when I tried to convert your form.

Good morning,
I just transfor your xlsx file with https://opendatakit.org/xlsform/ and the xml I get differs from yours...
Yours doesn't contain odk xforms namespace as @nribeka said (xmlns:odk="http://www.opendatakit.org/xforms") and has some other differences...
So I am not sure you tried the good one.
Hi - sorry, I am not sure I understand. What do I need to change in the form please?
Many thanks 
I get this error when I try to upload form to server:
Error: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing Form: org.opendatakit.aggregate.exception.ODKIncompleteSubmissionData: org.javarosa.xform.parse.XFormParseException: Unhandled Exception while Parsing XForm
Maybe you have a version problem, I use aggregate 2.0.0...
I just transform your xlsx with https://opendatakit.org/xlsform/ , uploaded it to my aggregate server, download the form on my phone and fill the form.
As you can see I get a column with 16000 characters and the whole text I input
Here is the xml produced by xslform_online :
