Increase character limit for Description field to more than 255 characters.

We are planning to update description field with multiple characters and then generate the report for dashboard purpose. Customizing the character limit to higher value will help us to add more characters in the description field.

    Hello Greg

    With this idea, we would like to increase character limit for Description field during server addition. Refer the screenshot that is attached in this idea.

    There is business requirement to generate the report from Sterling Control Center for all servers that should have end-to-end details about the server'/application.

    We would like to utilize the description field and update teh details of application in this field.

    Thanks,

    Shiva Hiremath

    ShivaKumar,

    Thank you for submitting the enhancement request. So that I can better understand your requirement, can you provide some specifics on which decscription field would need to be increased or is this more of a general statement about all description fields. Also, can you share a bit more around the use case that is driving the need for a larger description field? In addtion, if we are to look at increasing the field(s), is there an increase in size that would meet your needs?

    Thanks for helping me to better understand your need so that we can determine how we can help.
