Custom Field Length

    Hi,

    How do I lengthen the custom field so that it accepts more characters? I assigned the two fields to “Title” and “Organization”, however, the organization name of some individuals may be far longer than allowed in the field. This causes it to display as trimmed.

    Example:

    Title: “Attorney”

    Organization: “Adjunct Professor and Trustee, The King’s College and Seminary Former national President of the Christian Legal Society”

    However, displayed is: “Adjunct Professor and Trustee, The King’s College and Seminary Former national President of the Chri”

    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    So I went into the database and changed char(100) to vchar(255):

    tb_custom1 varchar(255)
    tb_custom2 varchar(255)

    However, when I enter/paste the long string in the field in the testimonial editing window, it still gets trimmed! If I enter the long string directly into the database, the string stays whole.

    So evidently the limitation is in the UI.
