Captivate 2019 Variable Length Limit?

Question

In Captiate 9 I set up a quiz to display all of the incorrectly answered questions, along with the correct and incorrectly selected response. I did this using javascript and then assigning the collected data to a Captivate User variable so I could display the information in a text object. While this code still works in a test updated from Captivate 9 to Captivate 2019, I can't duplate the work in a fresh test built in Captivate 2019.

While the javascript is working as expected, when I assign the data to my Captivate User variable, it is truncated to only 50 characters. In my working example, originally produced in Captivate 9, I can have many more characters without any problem.

What must I do, in Captivate 2019, to expand the size of the Captivate User variable?

Displaying characters has not changed, but I suspect you didn't change the default length of 50 characters when inserting the variable using the X button in the Properties panel. That has always been necessary.

Default value for maximum length is now set to 50, in older versions it was lower. I have changed it in this screenshot to 256.
