Column labels with 250+ characters

[Harry Campbell2]

Hello All,

I am building a custom application and I require some form fields to have a field label of 250+ characters. Is it possible to do this for one table/application only?

Thanks

Harry

I think, it's not a good idea to have a long labels names. We can instead have display message, alerts as alternatives to avoid longer field label.

Hi Harry,

My bad, I misunderstood your query.

The Column Label of any table/application is nothing but a field of the Dictionary Entry (sys_dictionary) table. The default Max Length of the 'Column label'   field is 80. Now, if you change the default value this will be applicable globally. In Short, NO It is not possible to change the Label length for any particular table/application.
