Please test vm3.2.3

I updated now to 3.2.3 but there is the same limit on default product description, is this limit still there? I thought it will be removed...

There is a hidden config, dbpsdescsize  - https://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/general-concepts/206-hidden-configurations.html  - I thought that was for increasing the table size (I have not tested it), which is very likely to impact on page speed, so is there for experienced users.

Many thanks friend :)

In /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/tableupdater.php I fond following code:

$fields['product_desc'] = 'varchar('.VmConfig::get('dbpdescsize',18400).') '.$linedefault;

Would it be danger if I make there a corehack to:
$fields['product_desc'] = 'TEXT '.$linedefault;

Or can I override tableupdater.php without to losing data after updates?
