12. Extending character limit for description field in opportunities

Previous11. Can I add tax filer number on the invoice?Next13. How to search records excluding records assigned to a specific user

Last updated 1 month ago

Question

What is the length of the description field in opportunities and can I increase it?

Answer

The default length of the description field in the opportunities is 16,777,215 characters, as it is a medium text field and it is good enough for the normal usage

Check the following video to see the visual representation of how many characters a description field in opportunities can hold

Still if you want to increase its length, that can also be done using the following

ALTER TABLE vtiger_crmentity MODIFY COLUMN description longtext CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NULL ; query

Using the query the length of the description field in the opportunities can be increased to 4,294,967,295 characters
