Modifying custom data fields?
June 04, 2008, 04:14:44 pm
We have a custom data field attached to our individual contacts to select the country and region the contact belongs in. This field displays the choices in a multiple-select drop down list, which is quite long. The default size of the list box -- 5 rows -- is a bit small.

Is there any way to change the default size of custom data fields?

This is not customizable in 2.0 and prior. If you file a request (http://issues.civicrm.org/), we'll potentially fix it in 2.1 / 2.2

For now, the easiest way is to edit: CRM/Core/BAO/CustomField.php , line 414. You can up the number 5 to a more reasonable number for your install

thanx
