Topic: Item Code length limited in the box for entering.

I have increased the length of the item code in the database, but how do I increase the length of the box during entry. It appears to be limited to maxlength of 25 only.

I used view page source on items.php and the following is shown.

<tr><td class='label'>Item Code:</td><td><input  type="text" name="NewStockID" size="26" maxlength="25" value=""></td>

I used version FA 2.4.13

Re: Item Code length limited in the box for entering.

I tried to change the following from:

        text_row(_("Item Code:"), 'NewStockID', $tmpCodeID, 26, 25, null, "", $post_label);

to

        text_row(_("Item Code:"), 'NewStockID', $tmpCodeID, 41, 40, null, "", $post_label);

It does not work. The field still remains at 25. When I was using a previous version (2.3.xx), I changed from 26,25 to 41,40 and it works. Not sure how to do it in version 2.4.13. Any help is highly appreciated.

Clear cache in FA and in the browser and then try.
