Export truncates 255 character fields to 64
August 16, 2010, 07:57:43 pm
I didn't find anything in the Issue Tracker or anywhere else...

I have several custom data fields set up as 255 characters long.  The complete values are displayed when I view/edit a record, but an export truncates the fields to 64 characters in the .CSV.

Is this a bug?  If it's a feature, is it documented anywhere?  If not, I'll document it.

Thanks!

I put a "watch" on the bug report!  I wish I could help fix it, but I don't know PHP...

No worries, we will fix it in the coming release  :)

Thank you so much, Yashodha -- I was actually going to try to hack a fix myself last night but decided to go to sleep instead (true story)!
