Re: Limit characters in Comment

 

Great, Thank you.
SO i need to modify the 360 in history.js file?

AND another problem is. when has comment, can show highlight data value in
dataset that has text in that comment? SO it is easy for us(M&E staff) to
view if that data value has comment..

Thank you
CHANNARA
