Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-12021:
-----------------------------------------

Thanks both,

Could you please [~ddev] replace in your patch that is OK apart that? TIA.

It should be noted here that in the past we had a specific TEXT setting for Postgres and it was replaced mostly to have consistency between DBMS settings.

> "description" and "comment" fields are restricted to 255 char.  However after some research I found that all the supported databases support longer then 255 char
> I would expect users to want to write more then 255 char in a comment (I know I personally can).
> I have included diff of my proposed solution as a attachment  (I am unfamiliar with the procedures for submitting patches here)
> A discussion has been started on dev ML: https://markmail.org/message/7utrgejc2c44i37u
