    I am using NewsPublisher and would like to make use of TV descriptions, as the captions are not long enought for what I need to display.

    My ListOuterTpl reads like this:

        [[+np.error_[[+npx.fieldName]]]]
        <fieldset  id="np-[[+npx.fieldName]]-container" class="[[+npx.class]]" title="[[+npx.help]]"><legend>[[+npx.caption]]</legend>
          <select class="u-full-width" name="[[+npx.name]]" [[+npx.multiple]]>
            [[+npx.options]]
          </select>
        </fieldset>


    I tried replacing <legend>[[+npx.caption]]</legend> with <legend>[[+npx.description]]</legend> but that resulted in not text displaying.

    Does anyone know how I might be able to do this?

    Or does anyone know how I can increase the number of characters allowed in a TV description?

      Did you try the &captions property? I can't remember if it works on TVs, but it's worth a try.

      Per the docs:

      &captions=`content:Enter Post,introtext:Summary,description:Give a brief description`


      AFAIK, there's no limit on the length this way.

      BTW, if you have longer captions in the DB now, they may be truncated or throw an error if you switch back to 80.
