[Solved] Database field width unalterable

[ubiquity]

I'm using O-O 4.1.3 on Windows 10
Attempting to build a number of tables but finding that length of Integer fields, regardless of whether they are primary key or not, cannot be altered.They are fixed at 10
Is this a persistent bug as I see it reported elsewhere without resolution and for other operating systems?

A 32-bit integer reaches from -2,147,483,647 to +2,147,483,648. That is no more and no less than 10 decimals.
Depending on the type of database, there may be a DECIMAL type where you can specify the length and the decimals. DECIMAL(12,0) is a 12 digit number with no decimals after the point.

For non-arithmetic numbers (zip codes, part numbers, phone numbers) you may choose a textual type like CHAR(12) and edit it through a formatted field on a form. Formatted fields can be limited to digits only.

Thanks! I realised my conceptual error some time about 2am this morning - I had been looking to restrict "input" not bit size.

I just started a new database and am attempting to add "Description", but all can add is "Descriptio", seemingly limiting me to 10 characters. I have chosen "text" as my field type. What's the cure?
