Item Description Field
How do I increase the length of the field for item descriptions?
Forum Discussion
Hey Jacmus,
It isn't possible to increase the length of the field for item descriptions. This only allows you to enter up to 255 characters. I'd recommend posting on our MYOB AccounRight Ideas Exchange board so that the option to increase item description length will be considered for future enhancements.
Best regards,

Thank you Doreen. I find that when I insert a description in the NAME field, its only about 27 characters. and does not go to the end of the field - it stops about halfway.
Hi there Jacmus,
I've replicated your issue with the item description field, and it does allow me to enter 255 characters. If you're referring to the Name field from the Profile tab, the character limit that you're getting is normal. You can refer to the screenshot below.
Instead, you can enter 255 characters in the Description field from the Item Details tab.
Best regards,

Thanks Doreen,
it would be good if we could use the whole length of the NAME field for our product descriptions.

Nice to see a Moderator reply.
Hi myvideoguy,
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. Great call out on the character limit. We’ve added this to our Ideas board so people can vote it up and help prove priority for the product team’s roadmap. In the meantime, you can put the full details in the “Notes to customer” field on the invoice, it supports much longer text so your customer still gets everything they need. For more info, our help page has the guides and support you might need. And aside from phone and chat, you can also create a support ticket in My Account and we’ll jump in to help.
Cheers,
Princess
