Hi, I need to increase the amount of text characters in the "Forms Manager" DESCRIPTION section.
After a certain point the text just vanishes after saving.
Please can some one point me to the file where I can change this value if it's possible.
Thank you

Hello grahamdek,
if you want to increase the forms' description size, then you need to do this in the eXtroForms database table. By mistake, this value was set to a varchar with 255 characters instead of a mediumtext size.
To change this, you need to go to your joomla database (use eg phpmyadmin) , then open the #__ef_forms table, edit the table structure, and change the size of the field 'beschreibung' from varchar(255) to mediumtext. This issue affects the lite version only.
We have already corrected this in the new version which we will release as soon as the spanish translation is done.
