Sorry I don't understand what you want.

I think I get what gilina_tp was asking for, as I just ran into this.

The 'possible_values' field is limited to 255 characters, in both the db schema and the HTML form element. I needed more than that, as I couldn't even get ten of the options I needed to fit.

My solution:

1. Change mantis_custom_field_table.possible_values from type VARCHAR(255) to type TEXT.
2. Edit line #69 of manage_custom_field_edit_page.php so that the maxlength attribute is reasonably large (several thousand, anyways).

This solved the problem for me in 1.1.0a4. However, after a bit of testing, I was reminded that Safari limits text input fields to 1024 characters. Firefox let me go as crazy as I wanted.

I'm all about clean UI, but c'mon guys - 255 characters is a little on short side for a field that is by definition meant to hold multiple values.
I would argue any enum/list-oriented fields should be reasonable large, variable-length data types by default.

Any chance that'll make it into the trunk?

If it is that, I have developped a plugin named LongCF to increase the size of the custom fields (and other things).

Sweet.

I just downloaded your import plugin earlier today, too. I'll have to give'er a whirl!
