Symptoms:
On the Edit Content Type page, both fields named Included Extensions and Excluded Extensions would not allow more than 50 characters, forcing users to create multiple Content Types when actually one would be sufficient to capture all needed extensions in those fields.

Explanation:
The Content Type Edit page has a validation that restricts the content of that field to 50 characters.

Resolution:
The validation has now been lifted to enable a more user-friendly usage of Content Types.

SDL-hosted customers should contact SDL Support to arrange for a hotfix to be deployed.

Customers who host TMS themselves should download the installer for SDLTMS2011SP5CU2 Hotfix for 35954.exe from the following FTP site: ftp://sdlpatches:5dlpatch35@ftp-emea.sdlproducts.com/SDL TMS/2011 SP5/CU2/Hotfix.

Note:
On the Add Content Types, there was already no character limit. The issue only occurred with the Edit page.
