Forms for editors - Increase fields maxlength/change type in database

Hi DW,

It would be nice if our customers were able to type in more than 255 chars in the different type of fields in the backend.
We have customers complaining about this limitation.

Mainly in fields like "Description" and "Placeholder"
These fields seem to be ideal of having more than 255 chars, rather than having only the same amount of characters locked via frontend part of the backend like "Text/Label".
I can see that the column "FormFieldDescription" is of type NVarchar(MAX) in the "FormField" table. So it seems like it could easily be implemented in the backend part of Forms for editors.

Hi Michael

I've changed the Description - it had a maxlength which makes no sense. Placeholder requires a DB change, and I am not fan of a big text there. It is meant to be a hint...

TFS#31335, in 9.3 and 8.9.2
