Is it safe to change STEPS datatype from TEXT to LONGTEXT?

[testlead]

We enter lots of testdata in the STEPS field.

Sometimes, some of the data gets truncated upon save, if it exceeds the field size.

I found that if I changed the datatype of tcversions.steps from TEXT to LONGTEXT, the data is not truncated. But, I don't know how this change in the DB will affect Testlink functionality.

So, is it safe to change the datatype of tcversions.summary, steps and expected_results from TEXT to LONGTEXT for this purpose?

I see no problems, just do it.

Think we (dev team) will consider change of field type
