Hi JustK,

If you create a formfield with a 'default text' content, you're limited to 255 characters. However, once protection is applied, you can add more text. So you have two options:
• have up to 255 characters default text (which re-appears if the user deletes all text from the formfield), then add whatever extra 'default' text you need after applying forms protection; or
• have no text set as the default (in which case the formfield becomes blank if the user deletes its content) and simply add your 'default' text you need after applying forms protection.
