Import file help: Description limited to 100 char?

Post by cyork@mbsbooks.com »

Site Information
MantisBT Version 1.2.15
Schema Version 183


I've built an xml file with the necessary fields to import. My <description> fields are all quite long, and I was getting an error that description was empty on import. By trial and error I figured out that it only allows a length of 100 characters for the description on the import. However, when typing an entry into Mantis directly, I may type many, many more than 100 char for the description.

Is there any way around this on the import?

I was not able to reproduce the issue using latest stable version 1.2.19.
I didn't try your attached file, but created one by exporting an issue with more than 100 characters in description from Mantis.

Thank atrol. I can create an export from Mantis no problems. It's trying to import a new issue with a <description> field longer than 100. I assume you were able to re-import the file?
