Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Embargo description in resource policy.

Hello David,

As I was active in design of these changes, I'll chime in here. There was not a 
specific reason on limiting the size of this field. Making a change here and in 
future dspace versions would be welcome. Feel free to open a ticket.

Best Regards,
Mark

Hi all,
We’re on version 3.2 using the xmlui with a postgres database.

We recently migrated from 5.2, and had done some work to alter our legacy 
custom embargo system to be more-or-less compatible with the newer policy-based 
embargo system (described in DS-108). We had some issues stemming from the fact 
that the description attribute in the resourcepolicy table is a varchar(100) 
while our legacy system stored the reason in an unlimited text field. While we 
rarely need more, limiting the reason to one hundred characters has caused some 
workflow issues for some of our users. Also, as it comes out of the box, the 
dspace master throws an uncaught PSQLException when a reason longer than 100 
characters is entered during the submission access step (we’ve been avoiding 
the exception through form validation). We were considering logging a ticket to 
ask that the fields type be changed to ‘text’ or expanded to a wider varchar. 
As a preliminary to logging said ticket, I wanted to ask a few questions here:

Does anyone know why the resourcepolicy.rpdescription field is limited to 100 
characters?
Are there any other bugs on the Jira that might be related to this?
Thanks,
Seth Robbins
