Hi All,

I'm working upgrading a 6.24 site to 7.12. Nearly all our content is in custom content types created with CCK, and a number of those were text fields that were apparently not actually limited to 255 chars or less, because we've had users enter up to 900 characters in those fields and they worked just fine.

I didn't discover this until the CCK to Fields migration failed to migrate the data in this particular text field.

I'm looking for some suggestions on how to handle this migration... I've been doing searching on this and haven't found anyone else who has come up with a solution for this yet. Is there a solution?

If you have not too much fields, you can edit them when managing content types and give them a max length.

What about the content that's already over-length? I still need to import them into D7.

Before migration, in D6, You can create a new field textarea, and with vbo you give that new field the value of old field
