It would be really handy if the item name could be longer than 30 characters, if we could have a maximum of 50 characters it would make life much easier.

 

I know that you can select to use the description instead but this doesn't show up everywhere in MYOB and sometimes we need that space for other information.  We have over 5000 different items in our file and 30 words is just not enough most of the time.

Thanks for the idea of having more characters in the item name field MHS. We would love to hear if other users would also like to see the field length extended. Please add a vote if you would like to see this enhancement.

Yes, please please do this. 30 characters is so limiting and not helpful. I'd love if it was at least 100 caharcters. Intergrating with servieM8 makes all those limited to 30 characters too, very annoying
