[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC: Bugfix 7443: db field tx_dam_mm_ref.ident to short

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey Ingo and Michiel,

thanks for pointing that out. I also noticed some trouble in the core 
after we updated from TEXT to BLOB in 4.2 [1].

Attached is the patch with the right DB field, waiting for your comments :)

greetings,
benni.
