Add more text to tooltips

February 10 (3 years ago)

It would be nice if the tool-tips could contain a bit more information. It is really useful for both me and my players to read the extra information o


(this is as long as I can write with the current 150 characters, please add more)

I'd like that too,

but ESPECIALLY for Card Decks (cards), so that the full text of a card-face can be accessible as plain-text

Work Around: I believe you can add more using the API script TokenMod. The limit is in the GUI input field. 

Your suggestion is good, and I’ve voted for it.

Anyone know WHY roll20 would've set a 150-character limit on "maxlength-attribute"?  What was the benefit or point of that limit? 

They could very easily go thru the Roll20 Marketplace Card Decks and see that some cards (some games) require more than 150 letters to accommodate the card-face text. 

If there is no reason for the limit, why not let it be unlimited or at least 10x more?

I mean, it is pretty common to have a limit in the database (and therefore also in the user interface).
On the other hand 150 is generally very little, especially as the database (evidently) allows for much more.

It feels a little bit like a proxy. 
-What is the limit in the DB?
-Dunno, just set it to 150 or something.
