JSX prompt() limits user input to 255 characters.

Hi @m1cmdrpitch, here is a function I wrote that could replace the built-in prompt(). It uses adobe's implementation of scriptUI to handle the UI.

var pastedValues = "1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789";
alert(pastedValues + "has a length of " + pastedValues.length);

pastedValues = prompter(pastedValues, 'Prompter test', 'Paste string here:');
if (pastedValues != undefined)
    alert(pastedValues + "has a length of " + pastedValues.length);


function prompter(obj, title, message) {
    title = title || '';
    return (function () {
        var result;
        if (obj instanceof Array) { obj = obj.join('\r') };
        var w = new Window('dialog', title);
        if (message != undefined)
            w.add('statictext', undefined, message, { alignment: 'left' });
        var textArea = w.add('edittext', undefined, obj, { multiline: true, scrolling: true });
        textArea.maximumSize.height = w.maximumSize.height - 100;
        textArea.minimumSize.height = 150;
        textArea.minimumSize.width = 500;
        var button = w.add('button', undefined, 'Done', { name: 'ok' });
        button.onClick = function (ev) {
            result = textArea.text;
            w.close(1);
        };
        if (w.show() == 1) return result;
    })();
