We have an issue where the description of a part rev is exceeding the 30 characters allocated by PartRev.RevShortDesc. Since this is a built-in field I don’t think it’s possible, but I am also noticing that there is another field called PartRev.Description which is much larger. I created a query and it looks like under 3% of our part revisions actually use this, and I don’t see where the user can even see this field by default - the user is using Part Maintenance > Part > Revisions > Detail. It looks like the cases where this is used, the description is used to describe the reason for the Rev. It seems like any solution with a UD field would require a lot of customization and a lot of unknowns as we don’t know every place that might touch or use this field such as reports.
What would be the best practice in this case?
