Default I need a large Extra Field
I need to store a large amount of html formatted text (>255 chars) in an Extra Field for each product.

This could contain Specification tables etc.

I understand that I need to charge the type of the underlying MySQL field to text?.

Do I need to make any other changes to the Extra Field modules etc?

Perhaps I should keep the html formatted text in a separate file and import it when it needs to be displayed?

I would appreciate an expert's advice.

You can find a few solutions searching inside the Forum. We talked in the past about this. Normally altering DB->Table for that field will do the job.
