Screen short character limit

The maximum number of characters a field can contain is a database constraint.  You would need to change the schema on the field.  Not something I figure Epicor would support without paying for a customization.  Instead you can use a UD characterXX field these are 1K at least (forget the exact size).

Is there a way to limit a short character entry to less than the 50 character in screen customization or maybe a BPM?

 

Thanks

 

Steve

Definitely a BPM.

You could do this with a customization or BPM.

Textbox has a property called MaxLength that would accomplish this.

You could create a BPM on pre-processing Update method that checks the length of text that was entered.

Hi,

If you want to limit the field size every place it is used I believe you can use Extended Property Maintenance screen and include a overriding format.

On the flip side … could this be used to increase the number of characters?  I am not seeing how you would override.

I have a field that I need to increase the characters from 30 to possibly 100 … is this possible?

 

Thanks
