I'm not sure of the dialog box you're getting, so ... lots of possibilities.

I have plenty of multivalue non-SUMMARY text fields that exceed 30k. This ain't your problem.

1- If the field gets displayed, you can run into the paragraph limit on the document. Displaying anything has a rich text specification around it, and that display is itself subject to the paragraph limitation. It should be *around* 32k. You'll get a fuzzy dialog error about paragraph limitations if you hit that.

2- Lotusscript *may* complain if you go over 32k. I haven't seen this issue in years but there may be a lingering issue with LMBCS strings.

3- If you're displaying the data in a field, that field is a SUMMARY field. I've never investigated Computed Text, but I suspect it has a low limit, too. Either way, I've had success with CFD fields that clear themselves on @IsDocBeingSaved. However they stay blank unless you make a special effort to repopulate them after saving.

4- The sheer number of values adds, oh, I think it was 4 bytes per multivalue field *value*. But it may be 8 bytes. I don't remember. The total SUMMARY limit is a bit under 32k, too, due to additional SUMMARY information for each doc ... which I also don't remember. I don't think docs like going over 30k, fwiw.

So, having looked at more of your postings & applying #4, I don't calculate yours going over 30k.

I think you've hit problem #1 on that the crDesc field. If it's simple text, it has a large # multivalue entries(#4), and that could affect its total size calculation. But putting that field in a dialog simple-text field is likely to exceed the 32k *paragraph* limit when/if they're displayed, because simple text fields chuck all that stuff in one paragraph.
