Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Dear Community
Unfortunately I have enabled the Meta Tag Quick fields with the default size of 160 chars. Now I would like to increase the size for the enabled content types. Is there any way to archive this?
For your support many thanks in advance, Raffaele

valthebaldDo you have data in that field?

Can it be changed in the database?

Comment #7
valthebaldI'm looking into this currently. There is no reason to disable increasing field length

Make sure to create a DB backup before you execute these queries. Test first!!
