Increasing a custom field input characters size

Added by Alina Ermakova almost 5 years ago

Hi everyone,

I am playing around with the Redmine, and I noticed that when I define a custom field under the administration/issue section, I get an input field limited to 40 characters.

The format I am trying is Key/value list | Display: Checkboxes

Is there any quick hack regards how I can increase this limitation eventually?

I got other questions too, but I am trying to search for a previous answer first.

Thanks!

FWIW: The size of the element is hard-coded in source:/trunk/app/views/custom_field_enumerations/index.html.erb@19786#L32.

So, I did the change, the limitation was changed say, to 200 chars. However, although the GUI looks like ready for a 200 chars input when I click the "Add" button, it still does not accept more than 40 chars per initial default setting.

Please, could you advise?

Thank you!

You are right. I forgot to mention that you also have to modify the CustomFieldEnumeration model accordingly. So to sum up all the changes you'd have to make for this:

Note: I'd advise against changing this (or anything else) manually in the core. It can make upgrading a PITA. But YMMV...
