Long URL in SharePoint for URL type Field

I have a long URL and it's not fitting in the URL field. It keeps trimming. What to do? Is there a way to increase the URL field characters limit in SharePoint 2010?

Or a work around to accommodate long URL. For example, the following URL wont fit in current URL field.

http://Intranet.CollegeEducation.Edu/StudentCourses/Year/2013/_layouts/CustomForms/FormRender.aspx?List={FBB7EE62-BC6E-42A2-8458-92AF56B063A1}&RootFolder=/StudentCourses/Year/2013/CourseChangeRequest&ContentTypeId=0x0101008C18BC49FB564DD891D01B108399315A01003B9EF9111179DF4E99CD24C2C0391DDD&Source=/StudentCourses/Year/2013

Here is the workaround for your situation.

  1. Add a Multi-Text column to your list

  2. Edit the item that has long URL

  3. Go to the Multi-Text field and you will get Rich-Content Ribbon

  4. Click Insert on the Ribbon > Hyperlink

  5. Add your Title and long URL in the respected field

Wala you are done.
