Maximum Characters length needed to be changed

Shubham Gagneja · ‎04-12-2022

Hey Guys, I am creating a form and I have a variable with list of choices. One of the choices is more than 200 characters which I can't type as the chaarcter is limited. How can I change the character length for a varibale choice list?

Hey Shubham,

Go to your choices related list on the dictionary and open one of the choices
It opens a record in the sys_choice table
Right click on Label field, and go to its dictionary
Increase the "Max Length" on that form

It should work fine, but there are user experience issue with this approach, not full label will be visible to user

Best Regards
Aman Kumar

Hi,

It is not a best practice to change length of system tables fields.

Instead you can discuss this with client and see if they can provide values which fit into the choice field.

I see it is already modified for you, in oob setup the max_length is 80.

Thanks,
