Override system template variable (TV) setting in Modx Revolution

I would like to override a system template variable (TV) setting in Modx Revolution. Specifically, I would like to turn off the 255 character limit set on *description. Is there a way to do so?

Solution

  • I think you're referring to resource fields and not TVs. It appears under pagetitle, longtitle, etc?

    I wouldn't try to change these, and instead create a text TV to hold your description. You can hide the default description field using Form Customisation, and if you want this to be immediately visible when you edit a resource (not in another tab) you can change the System Setting tvs_below_content to 'Yes'.
