Extracting More Value out of Notes/Memo Fields in PTE

Within the PTE app, there is a limitation to the number of characters a user can type for field notes. We are attempting to use the tool for daily log purposes. For example, within the "Unit Quantities" portion of PTE, we are trying to add notes that are relevant to production however we are limited to 30 characters. Is there a way to increase the character limit? The logical next question is where these notes map to within Spectrum when imported.

    They recently reduced these numbers even more, down to 20 and as a subcontractor a 5 major refineries most of the facilities require signed timecards by there Project Coordinator with Daily work notes attached. We no longer can do this because of the lack of characters has be reduced so much. This would save so much time.
