I need to increase the label and value sizes of a custom data checkbox to more than 255 characters. Is this something that has to be altered in MySQL or does the "database field lenght" box have anything to do with it? If it's a table that needs to be altered, which one and what would be the max setting?
I need to create a required check box for Election Law compliance when someone donates and the verbage is longer than 255 characters. I know MySQL 5.0.3 and later can do varchar(65k+).

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.
