Hi everyone,

Is it possible to have string fields with adjustable size(expanding/collapsing)? Just like +/- in HTML fields.

Anyone did this before?

Thanks in advance!!

You can modify the maximum character limit for a string field.


Before you begin


Role required: personalize_dictionary


About this task


Procedure


  1. Right-click the field label in the form and select Configure Dictionary.
  2. Change the Max length field to the desired length.

    Note: You can change between string-based data types as long as length changes do not cause any data loss from truncation. For example, you can change from a MEDIUM database type to a VARCHAR(100) database type if none of the existing data is greater than 100.


  3. Click Update.The system cancels any length change that results in data loss due to truncation.


Thanks,

Hi Sireesha,



Thank you for replying to it. I am not looking for Max length. What I want is to be able to drag the string field to big or small size as we have for HTML fields. This is not just for one field. I want this functionality for all the string fields.



Thanks,
