Hello,

Is there a way that I can increase the default character limit for a field? In the Person/Contact table, I’d like to increase the character limit for “email address” from 50 to 75 characters.

Thanks,  
Nolan

That can be done with custom fields, there is no simple method to do that with predetermined fields within your Epicor Application since that involves changing the SQL schema as far as I’m aware.  
In previous experiences I was discouraged from doing this and didn’t spend more time with this, maybe some one else can confirm.
