Changing Field Length on Customization if DB Allows it

No, try changing the extended property on the Form itself.

You would need to change the field in the form as a customization most likely.

Set the format here to your field.

How do I change the extended property on the Form?
I’m sorry, I just started learning how to customize Epicor recently.

Thank you.

See above.

Hi @josecgomez,
I just noticed that Field Help still shows Format x(30) even though the field now can accept characters up to 50. Is there any function I need to run to update the Field Help display to show x(50)?
Thank you.

You didn’t change anything on the database you just updated the extended property in this form. There’s nothing for you to do.

Where is the Field help getting the x(30) value from?

@ckrusen,
From Ice.ZDataField table.

Hello,
the change worked on my testing environment but when I did the same thing to live, it gave me this:

Is there a location where I can check the Validation rule?

Hello josecgomez,

We did the setting as you suggested. We have updated extended property format to x(50) then restarted epicor, recycle epicor app pool, regenerated data model but still we are getting same message as mention below. Please suggest if anything we are missing in our steps.
Thanks in advance…

Recycle after you regenerate.

done the same, but still not working

Hello,
I am having the same error as this, do you still remember how you fixed this one? Thanks.

Is there a definitive answer about whether we can change the field length of native fields? I’d love to do the same with the Reference field on OrderDtl (only x(10)). The marked Solution in this thread doesn’t actually seem to have worked.

Thank you, Jose.

Unless I’m doing something wrong (of which there is a very good chance), this might be one of the situations @jgiese.wci was mentioning in that thread that won’t work through Extended Properties:

Correct the Db schema is 10 nothing you can do
