EX1406 Database Error

[sadams101]

In my Pages all there is a "Subtitle" field that is throwing this error sometimes when I submit articles:

EX1406 

IPS\Db\Exception: Data too long for column 'field_7' at row 1 (1406)

A look at my database indicates that field_7 is a varchar(255) field. I suspect that this happens when I put in more characters than 255, however, I thought the field length would not allow me to do that. Any ideas on how to handle this?

I may have found the issue...it looks like the limit was not set in certain fields in the "Fields" area. I have now set the field lengths there to match what the limits in the database are.
