Raising text field character limit

[Former Member]

Hey experts,

Right now the text field in our service orders only allows 200 characters. How can i raise the character limit?

Please see attached document for an example.

Thanks!

Hi Nick,

If it is a standard field I do not think it is possible.

Click F2 on the particular field and you will get the technical properties. From this you can find the Component, View , Context node where this attribute is coming from. Open the Context Node class and find the attribute BASE_ENTITY_NAME. From this you will know to which Business object this filed belongs to. ( Note: If you are on Ehp1 or higher you will see the base entity name in the component structure browser itself.)

Then open Genil_Model_Browser and check the structure name and field name. If this is a field added trough AET or as a append structure, you will be able to change the length or else I don't think you will be able to change it.

Hi Nick,

The changes are transportable and are client independent.
