nope this is no bug, rather a misconception from the begining. as it is not trivial task to change the commaseperate list into a mm-realation (think of all extension relieying on that datastructur) it has not been refactored till today. but you could solve your problem easily. just alter the db field fe_groups to a field length fitting your needs. best practice to do this, is doing it with an extension. set the tca modification (pages.columns.fe_group.config.maxitems)in ext_tables.php and db in ext_tables.sql. so you are future proof and update save. hth alex _______________________________________________ TYPO3-english mailing list TYPO3-english@lists.netfielders.de http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-english
