How to increase option value text to more than 32 characters

I'm trying to increase the option value name to larger than 32 characters.
i tried changing the db from varchar/32 to varchar/254 but i still get the error that doesn't allow me to do this.
is there some sort of validation built into the php to prevent this and where would i modify that?

I'm not that experienced with backend applications so bear with me.

thanks for your help.

Goto option value in the admin folder and look for the validateForm method. you should see the validation there.
