ShaneDeak OL Newbie Registered: 09/17/18 Posts: 3	Hello! I'm generating a QR-Code out of a longer URL (the link changes for every database entry). In most cases there is no problem with the code, but sometimes PSM shortens the link by a few character and the QR-Code doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know why PSM is doing this? Thanks in advance!

Jean-Cédric OL Expert Registered: 10/03/16 Posts: 681 Loc: Québec, Canada	Can you mock-up a similar link without privy info in it? Just so we can investigate. _________________________ ♪♫♪♫ 99 frigging bugs in my code 99 frigging bugs Take one down Code around 127 frigging bugs in my code ♪♫♪♫

ShaneDeak OL Newbie Registered: 09/17/18 Posts: 3	I just found a solution ... I set the type of the database entry manually to "Text". When I set it to "Memo" the link is correct. No idea why PSM handles the text-type wrong, but at least it's a solution. Thanks anyway!

Jean-Cédric OL Expert Registered: 10/03/16 Posts: 681 Loc: Québec, Canada	Just like that, it might be that Memo has a length higher for its field then Text. I haven't checked but that would make sense. _________________________ ♪♫♪♫ 99 frigging bugs in my code 99 frigging bugs Take one down Code around 127 frigging bugs in my code ♪♫♪♫
