Clarity

Hi all,

I want to increase the size of the Status Comment field in 7.5.3
When I go into the attribute it is set (read only) to a size of 762.
The database table says it is 2286

How can I change it so that I can add more (lets say 2000) in Clarity against this field.


Thanks in advance,

Matt

Stock attribute, so you aren't "allowed" to amend it....

The reason it is bigger on the database than in Clarity is to cope with multi-byte characters sets (i.e. non-English language) - you can see other stock attributes are the same (like the project.description).

Supported method is therefore to create your own custom status comment field and replace the stock one with the custom one everywhere. Thats clearly a pain though.... if you go down the un-supported route (hacking the meta-model in the Clarity schema) that might work, but will be an upgrade problem (at best) and possibly require lots of further 'hacking' to get the app consistent. :sad:

So no good answer here for you I think?
