Longer field for request_uri

Oh man I thought this was going to be straightforward, but it looks like that isn't the case. there's a whole developer module (https://git.drupalcode.org/project/field_type_converter/-/blob/1.0.x/src...) which supports field type changes because it needs a new field creating rather than updating the existing one? Am I missing something here?

Right, I found some guidance here https://www.drupal.org/docs/drupal-apis/update-api/updating-entities-and... → and had a go at this change based on that documentation. Here's a MR: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/rest_log/-/merge_requests/13

Would appreciate thoughts/feedback. My concern is that the update could take a long time to apply if there is a lot of data in the table!

@JKingsnorth I don't think there is a need to update field type from string to long_string, as string is representation of varchar which max lenght is 65,535 characters.. and as you mention we would have to take care of migration data, I don't think foreach and single update query would be a good idea, because it would take too much time for bigger sets of data. (maybe chunks could be better.. still it's not needed in my opinion)
I've created simple hook update to set column schema length value to 2048, and added needed changes to rest_log entity to apply it to new installations.
Could you test it and review the merge request? https://git.drupalcode.org/project/rest_log/-/merge_requests/14

I've added explicitly limiting of request_uri to 2048 characters to prevent errors when it exceeds the max length. Merge request merged to 2.x.

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

Thanks for the fix, apologies for the delayed response.
