Category custom attribute, doesn't save value - Magento 2.1.2

Question

I am creating a custom attribute for categories using this resource.

The attribute field "Tagline - Category Head" is shown fine in the backend, but when I type a value and save the category, the value is not saved (it stays blank). I also searched the database for any field named "tagline" and nothing came up.

Here is the code

Setup/InstallData.php (just the install function)

public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
 /** @var EavSetup $eavSetup */
 $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
 /**
 * Add attributes to the eav/attribute
 */
 $eavSetup->addAttribute(
 \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY, 'tagline1', 
 [
 'type' => 'text',
 'label' => 'Tagline - Category Head',
 'input' => 'text',
 'source' => '',
 'visible_on_front' => true,
 'required' => false,
 'sort_order' => 100,
 'global' => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
 'group' => 'General Information',
 ]
 );
}

Attribute type "Text" doesn't working as you need to change it as varchar.

You are not getting value in even database just because of it, check in eav_attribute as your attribute length is 0.
