truncating a field's length in BR

[vishuanand]

Hi,

I am writing a BR where i want to truncate a field's length(lets say to 100 characters). For eg:

parsedObject.Description = recordObject.short_description;

Here, i want to truncate the length of short_description to 100. could anyone help me how to do this?

It is confusing as I cannot understand what is parsedObject or recordObject, Can you explain what you are trying to achieve (use case) and if this is a before BR? I would do be adding this line in my BR if I want to truncate the short description to 100 whenever it is updated.

current.short_description = current.short_description.toString().substring(1,100);

Thanks
