Hi all,
I'm pretty sure I know that the answer will be a no, but has anyone found a way to increase the character length for Titles, Productions, Production Seasons and Performances? The 30 max character limit just isn't long enough for some of our performances, especially when using bilingual names.
TNEW is not a problem, as the overrides can work there; but for reports etc I hate having to cut the performance names off and abbreviations aren't always appropriate.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks, Alison
Hi Alison - we had this very same problem back in 2006 when we did The Blonde, The Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead. :) In Tess, I called it Blonde, Brunette & Redhead but then we created a custom content type of "ProdLongName" and we add this at the Prod Season level.
We aren't concerned about what reports show, it's more our ticket designs and the website. We created a user-defined element for our ticket designs that if this content is present it uses it rather than the perf name. Same with web - if the content is present it uses the content rather than perf name. It's worked out rather well for us. You could however update any custom reports to use this content as well.
