Ben,

I think you want to either specify the size in parens ":string(80)" or using the limit option ":limit => 80". Try and see which one works for you.

Thanks guys, :limit did it for me. How come there's no documentation on it on the api? How come the API doesn't list all the types (like :integer, :string, :text, :datetime etc.)?
