I have products that need longer Read-Only attributes (so I don't have to retype the same thing over and over on lots of products). But I don't know how to make my character count longer on a Read-Only attribute. I think its done in phpMyAdmin but I just don't know which tables and how to modify the count here.
I found this thread and changed my characters to 80 (per Ajehs instructions) but that did not increase my field (so I changed it back to 32).
I have attached an image that will show my character count on read only is around 64 or 65. I need at least 100 (or maybe even more).

Re: How to add characters to the text attribute?
Yes, in the database you need to change the "products_options_values_name" field in the "products_options_values" table from "varchar(64)" to a bigger size, such as "varchar(128)".

Re: How to add characters to the text attribute?
Thank you, that's the table I was looking for. I found several tables but not the table you pointed out. After clicking a few times, I thought it would be best to seek professional advice. :)
