Project custom textarea field doesn't export

[moh1can]

Hi

Im using sugarcrm community 5.5.2

The topick name is pretty intuitive but il try to explain my problem better.

Namely, i have several custom fields of type textarea in my project module and they work fine, display fine, data is in the database etc etc but when i try to export one or more records from the project list page the export goes fine and the csv file opens with all other fields in it exept the custom textarea fields. Even the built in description field which is also textarea is exported but my custom textarea ones arent. My other custom fields are all exported correctly.

Anyone know of any sollution to this? I dont know what to do, im trying to find parts of code that does the export to modify them somehow so they export my textarea fields.

What is the total Text Area size of the custom field ?

What do u mean total size?

In sugar studio it doesnt have size, its unlimited i guess, In mysql its of type text.

The actual data in the fields is usualy couple of rows of text.

The actual project that im trying to export for testing purposes has only "test" in that textarea field.

Ive done some digging in the code, the modules/project/project.php has a function create_export_query which is called from export_utils.php with an object that coresponds to the module for which the export was called but the query that function returns is never used because i tried changing what it returns. That function is called because when i rename it i get an error. Im thinking there may be a problem when sugar is sorting out the csv file in the implode part of export_utils but im not shure and i also dont know where the query for fetching the data from mydql is formed.

Anyone have any clues about this? :|

I too am facing this same problem in Sugar 5.5.4 CE. I had asked my team members to enter record updates on this field but now i cannot export it in excel. Need some quick revert on this from anyone.
