[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-12021) "description" and "comment" datatypes unnecessarily limited to 255 char

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12021?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17200631#comment-17200631 ] 

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-12021:
-----------------------------------------

Thanks both,

Could you please [~ddev] replace in your patch that is OK apart that? TIA.

It should be noted here that in the past we had a specific TEXT setting for Postgres and it was replaced mostly to have consistency between DBMS settings.

> "description" and "comment" fields are restricted to 255 char.  However after some research I found that all the supported databases support longer then 255 char
> I would expect users to want to write more then 255 char in a comment (I know I personally can).
> I have included diff of my proposed solution as a attachment  (I am unfamiliar with the procedures for submitting patches here)
