MultiSelect - Save

[Angel]

I've run into an interesting situation and wondered if anyone has some insight that might help.

Using 5.0.c on MySQL, I've got a very basic custom module with 3 fields on it: TextField, TextArea and a MultiSelect.

It appears as though there is a bug in the Save function for Sugar that causes the selected values of the MultiSelect field to be be truncated at 100 chars. Thus if I select 10 values that are 11 characters in length, it doesn't save all of them. The problem is further complicated by the fact that a delimiter is added to the values before they are committed to the database, further reducing the number of values one can select.

I was checking out SugarBean.php to see if I could spot something obvious in the Save() function that would cause it to truncate, but I don't see anything yet.

Anyone have some insight that might help?

Never mind, I found the source of the problem.

Turns out that vardefs.php had the length of that field set to 100, although one is not allowed to set that value when the field is defined.

Changing it to 500 by directly editing vardefs.php in my custom module fixed it.
