Re: Extending id fields to more than 20 chars

Cheers,
Ruppert

this request.  here's you can do it easily:

in framework/entity/fieldtype/fieldtype*.xml files

-    <field-type-def type="id" sql-type="VARCHAR(20)"
java-type="String"></field-type-def>
+    <field-type-def type="id" sql-type="VARCHAR(40)"
java-type="String"></field-type-def>


That works like a charm if you choose to go this route.
