I have a client who would sign up today for D365 Financials if the Item Description field was larger. right now it appears to be limited to 50 characters. He need it to be at least 1000 characters.
I am aware of the extended text availabliity, but these also are limited to 50 characters and to enter the description they need 50 characters at a time is a poor work around.
Thanks.

This is not a trivial change as it will cause issues with every report and page where the item is used. The Description 2 field is available for extended descriptions and attributes can be used to shorten descriptions.

This is a huge issue for my company as well. We are a wine importer and a distributor and it looks so unprofessional to have things like Chat. du Pape instead of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Seems like such a silly limitation and makes no sense to rule out customers who need more than 50 characters.

Thank you both.
I agree that 50 characters is not enough, but there is no plans on extending these fields in the nearest future.
@others: please vote - we continue monitoring this suggestion.

I also have a potential customer who needs this functionality or it will be a show stopper.

Another option would be to set the extended Text field to at least 1000 characters.
