Adding custom selection box

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to add a custom selection box, but I am running into an issue with max field length.
In my field setup, I have chosen Field Type:selection and entered...
[('straight_hem','Straight Hem'), ('adjustable_hem','Adjustable Hem'), ('ribbed_hem', 'Ribbed Hem')]
...in the SELECTION OPTIONS, which works.
However if it won't let me add any more options because I'm exceeding the 128 character max limit.
Am I doing this the right way? :)

By chance I saw this yesturday - a trick using a function and tuple

Go here [1] and scroll down to "selection"

Its from V6 but should be ok for V7

I don't know how to code.. I was hoping to do this though the GUI. Thanks

A short-term workaround would be to use smaller text strings, such as:

[('s','Straight Hem'),('a','Adjustable Hem'),('r','Ribbed Hem')]

That get's you from 100 characters to 64.

Another option to consider is to create a Model for this list and replace the selection field by a one2many relation field.
