QM-custom attribute- should be able to change from Text (Small) to Text (Medium) type

When i create Custom attribute (called ATT-1) for Test Case Execution Record (TCER) with type: Text (Small) for test leads to provide note before the tester starting test 

  (to create custom attribute: go to Manage Project Properties-Custom attribute). This custom attribute is displayed as one column in TCER view

However, I figure out that this type only allows 255 character, and with type Text (Medium), it allows 1000 characters

And I would like to change type of current attribute (ATT-1) from Text (Small) to Text (Medium)

Do you have any advices to the existing attribute type? I do not intend to create a new custom attribute with type Text (Medium)
