Further reply from Dev: Kick rocks.

Hello Gabriel,

I have linked to this case PRB0290842, which has already addressed the condition you are reporting on this case.

Our Development Group has confirmed this application behavior is intended and correct, as the default max-length is set to 1,000 characters in the regular form, but users can adjust it to a different value if necessary using the max-length property.

I have tested this and it works correct. There is no customization needed. Please follow this steps:

  1. Go to Extended Properties (System Setup > System Maintenance > Extended Properties)
  2. Enter table “ECOOpr”
  3. Got o field “CommentText”
  4. In the “Format” field, enter ‘x(10000)’ or the maximum length you need.

After this, log out, and then log back in. You should be able to add more than 1,000 characters in the Operation Comments.

Again, this behavior has been confirmed by Development to be working correctly in PRB0290842 (you may review the linked PRB). The correct way to add more characters to your operation comments is the one I described above.
