Process data with the text datatype are limited to 4000 characters.

If you want to map a textbox with more than 4000 characters, you have to use two textboxes associated with two process data, for example.

See [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att\_textarea\_maxlength.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_textarea_maxlength.asp) for a solution to define a max length.

**Note:** The `maxlength` attribute is supported in Internet Explorer 10+, Firefox, Opera 15+, Chrome, and Safari.
