Extending the field length

Question

Hi Friends,

Is it possible to extend the field length in JIRA.

Thanks in advance,

Kartik.

You will need to edit the .vm file that is used to draw the field.  Assuming this is a custom field, you'll find that these are done by field *type*, not field, so changes will affect the rendering of ALL of the fields of that type.

I can't remember off the top of my head where the files are, but look for files called things like textarea-edit.vm and textarea-view.vm - they're all kept in one place for custom fields.

Hi Nic,

Thanks for your update, it is the area a field covers on screen...

Depends on the field, and what you mean by "field length" - the area a field covers on screen, or the actual data in it?  Or both?
