Extending the characters in attribute text

[DannyC]

I have a few inventory attributes that are text cell type.

The default size in the database is varchar(255).
I have altered the column size for IN_AttributeGroupAttributeValue.Contents to varchar(2000) but it seems the Jiwa GUI is limiting the characters to 255.

What else would I need to do to allow more characters, say 2000?

v 7.2.1 SP21

You would need to change the MaxLength property of the cell of those attributes which have text values.

It would be a pain because there is no one point you need to do that.

It would literally take me two hours to get something working, and it would be ugly - not worth the effort to wrangle that in via plugin.

Log an improvement request - whilst we cannot include a data structure change in the Jiwa 7 product, we can make it easier for plugins to expand fields if you own the data structure change yourself. Once we've made the changes to the software, the plugin will be much easier to write.
