Custom field input cut

[aqr996]

Hi,
I am trying to use a editor/textarea to display some stuff from a custom field. This is a large amount of text, however it is cut off when saved. I have looked everywhere to find a way to increase the size, but can't figure this out.
How can this limit be removed or the size increased?

The amount of text im trying to add is 4000+characters

Hi,
If this is to long, why not using 2 or more fields?
The size is low for performance reason.
If you have to add a big text, then you can use the product description.
If you really need it, or you have to hack the table size in mysql, or use a plugin and another external table( this is certainly the best solution, if you don't have to search in this text)
So the 4 solutions ares.
>use product desc
>split the text in multiple fields
>modify the size(this can  be reset after Virtuemart update, so always backup before update)
>Use/write/buy a pluging to break any limits.

Thanks for your reply. I completely forgot about product desc and focused fully on custom fields. Ended up using product desc.
