I am puzzled why the developers set the Time Entry Description field to 100 characters (unless I misunderstand its use).
We can't possibly explain the work that was done for this time entry in less than 500 characters and usually need more than 1000.
Why does it limit use to 850 even if we change the format to Text Area?
I used to have a technician that would say "pretty sure". I had to teach him that "I'm pretty sure it's all working." is vastly different than "I've fully tested it and were done."
Try it for yourself. When I try to set the max to anything above 850 I get a little message saying "no, no, no".
I'm pretty sure it's configurable. Use make.powerapps.com>Dataverse>Tables>[tablename] to alter the column length.
Substitute [tablename] with the table containing the description.
RHETORICAL QUESTION: Why would the one field where lots of information is needed be designed for a short answer?
There is no Notes field with Time Entries and I am disappointed of the lack of insight of the developers to limit the length that I can set that field to. I can understand in their creation if they want to start it as a 100 character max and let each customer change it to their needs.
...but to limit it to 850 characters baffles me, especially when that type of field should be able to hold 4096
The field is designed for a short description. You can use notes or create another field for what you need.
Generally the description are done under the booking notes which is associated to the tome entry
