set max length attribute on field

[juan casas]

hi experts!!

I am trying to overwrite the max length set on the task table

I set the following to see if it was working.::

the business case is to set the max length=500 to avoid truncation when the field is populated, so  I wanted to test it with a small number to see if it was working.

its not working.

I also noticed that no_truncate=true as default, maybe I don't need to modify anything

Hi @juan casas,

If you are in the global scope and have admin it should allow you to increase the size of the field. But since it is on task it will not be limited to your "Commercial Deposit" table but on all child tables.

Dictionary override does not allow you to change the size though.

Hi juan,

I dont think overriding Max Length is possible. Check this article for good information about max length.

hello @juan casas ,

i think i found a work around for you in this issue .

you can do i through on load client script on your table like below 

MAKE SURE YOU UNCHECK ISOLATE SCRIPT  and use the below script

script :

function onLoad() {
setTimeout(function() {
jQuery('input[name="task.short_description"').attr("maxlength","500");
}, 1000);
}
