title: Is it possible to change the length of a string Work Item field in TFS 2010?
body: <p>I'm trying to add 3 fields to some Work Item templates in my TFS 2010 project so we can do simple release notes documents generated via reporting services.</p>
  
  <p>Using the Process Editor (in TFS Power Tools Sep 2010) I have added 3 fields, all String types - "Version", "Title" and "Description". Each has had the <em>Reportable</em> attribute set to "Detail". I used String since it seemed only that type was reportable.</p>
  
  <p>This works well and I have produced a report that shows simple release notes that I enter in Work Items.</p>
  
  <p>The trouble is with my <em>Description</em> field. It seems the string field can be no longer than 256 characters and if I try and enter more when editing an item I get an error.</p>
  
  <p>I initially considered using a field type of (ideally) HTML or PlainText but the process editor warns me it's not reportable.</p>
  
  <p>So, finally my question - is there a way of increasing the length of a string field in TFS 2010?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Chris.</p>
