Hi,

is there any possibility to enhance size of Possible Values in custom field over 255 ?

Thanks for help!

Frank

At the moment it is not possible, however, I think someone managed to do that by changing the field from varchar to text.

Hi,

today i finished a possibility to have a custom field type memo. I did this by using a second table for the text values. I'm not really sure if this is the best way, but it looks similar to the way how textfields are saved for the bugs.

At the moment i try to find out, how to create a patch. This is the first time i don't use cvs to update :-)

From memory the command line is as follows:
cvs diff -u

I recommend you report an issue in the bugtracker (http://bugs.mantisbt.org) and attach to it a zip. Include in the zip the following:

- The added/modified files.
- The patch (if you managed to create it).

Thanks, but i get only this error message:
cvs [diff aborted]: Error reading from server cvs.sourceforge.net: 0
I tried on command line and with TortoiseCVS, with the same error. Is this a problem with sourceforge or a problem by me?

Thanks,
Tobias

Are you able to update your workarea from CVS? i.e. are you able to access the cvs server in the first place?

If you can, then it may be an issue with the CVS anonymous access.

Don't waste to much time on it, just package the modified / added files in a zip and submit an issue.

After lunch i tried again and it worked. I submitted the issue #6626 http://bugs.mantisbt.org/view.php?id=6626
