Increase the length of summary field.

Post by Solace_QA »

Well, I'm stuck into a situation where I need to increase the length of the summary field from 128 to 255 character but not able to make it out. So anyone helps me to fix this?.



Thanks,

You could make that change directly on the database but you need to adjust the coding as well in:
bug_report_page.php line 546,change maxlength to 256
bug_update_page.php line 636,change maxlength to 256
The line numbers belong to version 2.21, for other versions search for "summary" and you will find the right place.

Having said the above, be aware that this will be gone after a future upgrade.
