Product Options amount of characters restriction

I've changed the back end to allow for 255 characters in the "Selection Name" field but the front end/public side cuts off to 100 characters. Where can this be changed to allow for more characters?

Thanks.

How have you changed the back end?  What database are you using?

Default CSV and I changed the value of 100 in config_optionsel.csv to 255 and it seemed like it worked as I was able to continue adding text in the field rather than being stopped. After submitting it and going back into the table it seems like it did shorten it. So...didn't work as I had thought because it didn't save the characters just allowed me to type more.

I thought that would have worked.  Try changing it to 254 (or some other number) instead of 255 - I don't really recall exactly, but I think 255 might be  a special value that requires a textarea instead of a textbox form field type.

Even though 255 didn't work it looks like 254 did. I'll chime back in if there's a problem.

Thanks Rachael. You're a lifesaver! smile
