values in a long list being truncated

I am using Events Booking for student registration, and I need to list every school in Victoria in a dropdown list.
Unfortunately, when I save the field the list is being truncated.
The truncated list uses 61237 characters (with spaces).
The complete list uses 63283 characters with spaces.
Is there a simple way around this issue?
Could I change eb_fields values from TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT without affecting the data stored in these records?
What are the implications for the next time I update Events Booking? Would I need to go back into phpMyAdmin and change the data type to MEDIUMTEXT again?
Thanks, Peter

Hi Peter

Yes. You can change data type of that field to MEDIUMTEXT. It won't affect anything. And you do not have to come back and change it again next time you update Events Booking. You only need to change it one time
