Truncated description field in List View and API XML output

[mrpatulski]

We have added the description field to our list view in search and it is being truncated at about 200 characters. I have seen the same behavior in the API. I does not impact a full record view. How is this limit set and can I remove it or make consistent however it is displayed?

$resource_field_column_limit=200;

You can set this higher, delete the field# column related to your description, and do a search to autopopulate that column. After that, you should probably set it back to 200, so that other columns stay smaller.

Hi tom,

Thanks but no luck. Using r 5332. Deleted the column, ran a search  then added it back. 

Here are my settings:

# List Display Fields: array of fields to display on the list view

$list_display_fields=array(8,18,92,204,82,73,12);

$list_search_results_title_trim=200;

$resource_field_column_limit=1000;

Anything else that could conflict with it?

BR,

MRP

Did some more tests and removed $list_search_results_title_trim=200 from my config.php

So it uses default.config.php value which is 25. This shortens both the title and description field acording

If I change it to 1000, it still trims at about 200.

A bug perhaps?
