Contact.EmailAddress > x50 characters?

Hi

We have some customers with email addresses longer than the default 50 character limit in the customer entry > contacts tab

How can we increase the field character limit?

I have added a custom text field but once I bind it to contact.EmailAddress it still forces a 50 character limit which I can’t edit?

Unless things have changed recently, changing the format of a native field is not something that can be done.
If I were you, I would create a new UD field that has the proper length and change the UI to use that field instead.

Wow, had no idea Ice.SysUserFile is using the ‘summary’ default for size. Can you please log that as a new ticket?

Have you tried changing the format in Extended Properties? We’ve been able to make integers longer with this setting although I believe since this field is nvarchar(50) in the DB you may need to take a look at using another field.
