http://your-site/assessment/asm-admin/item-edit-generalTried to enter a big question and got a big error (not sure why it didn't just truncate the content silently b/c it is a varying(1000) character type).
Questions:
1. What are the diadvantages to switching the character type to text in the case of assessment question display etc.? Performance?
2. General comment: we should be catching these kind of problems in assessment and giving end users nice clean friendly error messages back (in this case: "sorry your entry is too long, please try again"). Any reason this is not standard practice? Can we automate this somehow so that ad_form catches basic things like mismatch in size of input and space in the DB (e.g. making it easier for developers to do the right thing)

P.S. Question text in error message is a fictional patient used for teaching

X is a 43-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with advanced colon cancer with metastatic disease in her liver and right hip. She had been doing well (pain severity range 0-2/10), but is now complaining of 6/10 pain (i.e., moderate pain) in the right hip, especially with movement. She describes her pain as deep and aching. She denies that the pain is radiating, electric in quality, or associated with paresthesias or weakness, or new onset bowel or bladder dysfunction. She has tried acetaminophen 1 gm every 6 hours, which provided little relief. She also has used ibuprofen 800 mg q 8 hours, which had been controlling the pain at rest much better, but the pain interferes with her daily activities. From your exam and her history, you believe that she is experiencing bony pain from a metastatic lesion in her hip. You develop a plan to treat her pain that includes continuation of her non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, initiation of bisphosphonates, evaluation for radiation therapy, and initiation of a short-acting opioid along with daily senna.
