If you need more than 50 characters, couldn't you just use the Comment field for that?

i mean for each item description - it works fine for Sales Order / Invoice. Same item as being entered as PO to be sent to supplier has been shortened to 50 characters.

am using comments for shipping instructions / payment advise details.

Anyone out there has a solution?

Otherwise have to resort to shortening the description to below 50 characters - 7000+ items sad

As a start try to change the field size and see if that satisfies the entry. Then change the font size on display/print.

The DB field is TINYTEXT and this should be more than enough for 50 chrs so maybe you have to give more details. Encoding  and used language, do you see the full description or just 50 ch in the DB, do you use " or ' in the description etc.
Give some real example...
