Supporting Long Values in Module Settings

Following the guidance in the documentation for managed module settings, I have created some settings for my custom module.

For the most part this is working fine, but I have one setting that expects an API key for a 3rd party service, and that key is > 512 characters. This results in a validation failure when I try to save the setting because by default all the settings use the ShortTextValue property. How can I use LongTextValue for this particular setting?

Solution

  • For long text values you can use the "text" value type:

    <valueType>text</valueType>

    Though the UI was missing the input filed for this value type until version 2.4.593.

    P.S. Documentation has been updated.
