No search/replace on custom long text column?

CWatkinsNash · 06-20-2011, 05:28 PM

When adding a custom column of the type: long text like comments, it is not available in the bulk search and replace tab. Since the field is essentially the same as comments, which is available in s & r, I was wondering if there was a reason for that column type not being available.

No particularly good reason. I left it out because I didn't think of it and didn't need it at the time. There are some issues with messing up the HTML, but I can live with those.

I will change it.
