Our MLS vendor, FBS, reports that the conversion and data move for the Property Description field should now be complete. If you experience issues with display of the new 2,000 character Property Description field, please contact MLS Technical Support.

Original story:

Part of the recent changes to FlexMLS included the expansion of the Property Description field to allow 2,000 characters. We are noticing some inconsistencies with the new field:

1. Duplicated property description fields in some locations.
2. Text that is modified, then reverts back to the original.
3. The Property Description field is not appearing at all on external websites.

Our vendor, FBS, is aware of the situation and is working on a resolution.

On the morning of March 25 our vendor, FBS, will be making updates in the MLS between 6-9 a.m. EDT as we become RESO (Real Estate Standards Organization) 2.0 compliant.

During this time, add/edit features could be unstable. We recommend refraining from utilizing the add/edit features in the MLS between 6-9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 25 to avoid any instability from the updates. Below is the anticipated timeline of updates occurring on March 25.

• 6am: New RESO Compliant fields will be added. Do not attempt to access Add/Edit.
• 7am: Data will begin to be transferred to new fields.
• 9am: Full functionality should be restored.

Please note these updates could take longer than anticipated, and existing data will continue to transfer for the remainder of the day. This could result in system slowdowns or other anomalies. Tech Support will communicate progress via the MLS Message Board on Tuesday, March 25.
