String Custom Field Character Limit

[john-doe]

Greetings i'm looking for a way to extend the character limit of the feault values of a string custom field. I'm trying to deploy a list of hotels for my client but grabs only a portion of the list and i want to see how can i extend such limit if it is plausible.

At the moment the example visible is in

Code Select Expand

demo.xpeditiontours.com
in the field pickup point and time

Thanks in advance

Maybe i'm not myself clear on the statement.

I want to do a custom field String as a list. I have a List that is around 8000 Characters but the field in the backend of default valued grabs only (after saving) around 2000 characters.
Is plausible to raise that limit and where can i do it?

Is a virtuemart 3.0.10 on Joomla 3.4.5.

I had to found myself what happened.

I had to check the database en cahnge the value type of the custom field column from var(char) into medium text to allow more characters. But this fix has to be repeated after VM update since update switches back database to var(char)
