[krishna.teja]

Hi guys,

I have a probem with the custom fields in test link, where i am not able to enter the string values of lenth 40000,

I tried modifing the table (custom_fields) replacing the 250 value to 4000
and also changing the php gui file (input_dimensions.conf)
where i changed the CFIELD_POSSIBLE_VALUES_MAXLEN=255 to 4000

but now i am able to enter 4000 text value, but when i save it displays only 250 text value.

Please help me about this issue.

255 is limit of string. you need to implement 'text' type for CF if you must use it. I recommend to consider add this your content to summary or steps with appropriate header.
