Export truncates alphanumeric fields to 255 chars?
February 17, 2015, 06:49:03 am
I've got several custom fields that alphanumeric fields 1000 chars in length, but export cuts them all off at 255 chars.

I found this post

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,27449.msg116968.html#msg116968

about the issue, but doesn't seem to have any discussion or resolution, other than referring to this post

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,15153.msg64860.html

which seems to suggest there was a fix but only up to 255 chars.

Is it not possible to use export on fields that are longer than 255 chars?
