I have a cck field that needs to allow a different number of values depending on the role of the currently logged in user.
I’d like to find where the “number of values” data is stored for a cck field so that it can be dynamically changed when the node edit form is displayed.
From memory, if you change the number of values you may lose any additional – if you allow 5, then change to 2 you lose the other 3.
Is this not more of a UI concern? The CCK field itself can allow the max number of values that you want it to hold, and the widget that is used to allow these values to be entered / selected is customised based on the user role.
Changing the definition of an object based on the users role seems a bit excessive
