This feature should be improved to allow for a separate description for how to fill out the input field, similarly to how "Special Customer Fields" already work. We plan on adding this in the future. Probably Q1 of 2010.]]> Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:02:32 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/increase-custom-imput-field-name-length_topic3207_post12179.html#12179 <![CDATA[Increase Custom Imput Field Name Length : I am having problems with this...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/increase-custom-imput-field-name-length_topic3207_post12172.html#12172 Author: cpgmar

I am having problems with this also, I need a lengthy description but a short date field entry box.  I also get an error message that html cannot be used but I don't have any in the description. ]]> Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:34:55 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/increase-custom-imput-field-name-length_topic3207_post12172.html#12172 <![CDATA[Increase Custom Imput Field Name Length : No, I am talking about the actual...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/increase-custom-imput-field-name-length_topic3207_post12027.html#12027 Author: M Robles

No, I am talking about the actual xfield database field title for a product. It has a limit of 50 characters. I can modify it within the database but I don't know what the ramifications are for doing so.
 
Like I said before I want to add additional HTML such as <a href... to point to a popup for instructions on how to complete the input field.

Hi,
   If you are referring to the WIKI documentation for Custom Input Fields, the reference to 50 characters is a "For Instance", so 255 characters is fine.
You can use a text field or a text area.

Is there any reason that would prevent inceasing xfield length from 50 to the maximum 255 characters?
I want to add HTML and or additional instructions to the custom input field titles that goes beyound the 50 characters limit.
 
Thanks
