Character or size limit of multi-line text column with append changes in a Sharepoint List

Question

Hi Everyone,

I really couldnt find any answer on the web regarding the limit of a multi-line text column with append changes turned on. I have for example 10 version limit. Does that mean that after 10 entries/updates on that column, the oldest append will be deleted for this column? I test it but it does actually store more than 10 entries so what is the actual limit?

On internet people only answer on multi-line text but without append changes feature. They say around 65k characters or optionally unlimited if that option is turned on.

Answer 1

I created a new list and I was able to enter 53 updates. I can still see the first update "1". I didnt enabled rich text to enter fast but that shouldnt make difference. So I wonder if my company sharepoint has set the version limit to higher number or set it to unlimited from higher permission level. Can this be possible?
