Error in API and API Documentation on Notepad
Reporting a API error for constituent notepad, which I think is likely the same problem with other note of different record type.

After testing creating note in database view, webvew, and SKYAPI, the above is known.
Summary (webview and API) = Description in the database view.
Description is a field defined as VARCHAR(255), so it should be able to intake 255 characters.
Issues to resolve:
- webview allow the Summary input field to be typed in without limit. Anything more than 255 characters are truncated. There is no warning or anything
- SKY API does not allow Summary to be more than 50 characters
- SKY API documentation “correctly” describe the limit as 50, but that is wrong. This is likely a confusing from Blackbaud confusing the Summary field being the Title field that is VARCHAR(50).
- webview nor SKY API expose the Title field, I can understand the “deliberate” exclusion of this field as it may confuse customer as to why having so many field for a note, but those of us that had utilized both is missig information.
@Ben Wong @Erik Leaver @Heather McLean I have not open a support case as they are very bad in understanding API issue. But if you think I still should, I will do so.

@Alex Wong - Yes, we realize that we effected the change in the Gift API but haven't addressed other areas yet. I would definitley report the bug to support so it can be prioritized to the correct API team.
