Try changing text_input in your summary section to textarea (thx @kokolegorille 
). Is that the behavior you’re looking for?
Also what @kokolegorille said about date and datetime field types.

Form Code:
<.form let={f} for={@changeset} action={@action}>
<%= if @changeset.action do %>
<div class="alert alert-danger">
<p>Oops, something went wrong! Please check the errors below.</p>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= label f, :title %>
<%= text_input f, :title %>
<%= error_tag f, :title %>
<%= label f, :ingredients %>
<%= text_input f, :ingredients %>
<%= error_tag f, :ingredients %>
<div class="summary">
<%= label f, :summary %>
<%= text_input f, :summary %>
<%= error_tag f, :summary %>
</div>
<%= label f, :date %>
<%= number_input f, :date %>
<%= error_tag f, :date %>
<div>
<%= submit "Save" %>
</div>
</.form>

No, but You should show your form code…
String is limited to 255 char, but text is not.
It’s also strange to store date as integer, there are date and datetime types of fields.

I upload the code files on gitHub it is free to view
in your first bullet point you said if I am restricting anything
defmodule DishOut.Foods.Food do
use Ecto.Schema
import Ecto.Changeset
schema "delish_foods" do
field :date, :integer
field :ingredients, :string
field :summary, :string
field :title, :string
timestamps()
end
# alter table(:delish_foods) do
# modify :content, :text
# end
# The alter table I am increasing my char count to string over 255 for summary
@doc false
def changeset(food, attrs) do
food
|> cast(attrs, [:title, :ingredients, :summary, :date])
|> validate_required([:title, :ingredients, :summary, :date])
end
end
As you can see My changeset is not redistricting anything. Should I then add max: 250?

- Some possible things to consider:
- Do you have a validation that is restricting it? i.e.
validate_length(:summary, max: 250) - Are you using something like the html helper
textarea/3from the docs for your input field? - If you share more of your code it would help people see what’s going on.
