Custom field title character limit.

KRC

Hi There

 

We know that multi line text field can accommodate large data( >100's of lines) but my question is, is there a character limit on field name/title?

I have a really big question to ask and answer is just a yes or no radio buttons, due to large question, it doesn't fit as field name/title. Field takes 40 words

we ask this big question(>40 words) on a customer portal and due to length, a part of question isn't displayed.

 

Any idea how to work this issue?

Hi @KRC 

my approach when creating a risk assessment questionnaire was to make the field name succinct like ‘Risk Analysis Completed’ and then use the description to explain the full question. Also added html </hr> at end to draw a horizontal line to clearly show the description and field are related.

with several question on a form the hr makes it clear.

Also a long field name with make JQL and reporting difficult. Even using customfield ids in JQL is unreadable to most.

Service desk portal allows you to enter a custom description that is different from the underlying field. You also have the ability to add a link to help,in the request definition
