What is the character count limit for both the short and long answer options? 

Best answer by john.desborough

@shelleywales - if you scroll down the page that @Liz mentions above, you will find this in the details: 

 

Text

Short Text

If you want a short written answer from people, this is what you need. You can choose a character limit for answers, from 0-999 characters.

Long Text

This is ideal if you want people to write you long answers. You can also choose a character limit, like with Short text questions. If you don’t use Character limit, answers can be as long as people want!

Character count limits don’t appear to be mentioned in the video you linked, but I have since noticed that both the long and short text option have a “Max character” toggle when switched on appears to let me choose to set it from 0-9999999999.
