Field length is 256.

I have checked the columns of table in both instances. Both instances has same no of columns with same field length.

Hi,

How are you copying the field? if you are using importset, make sure import set field length is also same

Hi @Ankita Kolhe ,

Please review your field dictionary in the test instance and check the attribute field (if it's not visible, click on the "Advanced View" related link). There is one attribute you need to verify: no_truncate. If it's not present, you should add it like this:

no_truncate=true

no_truncate

true/false

any string field

In a list view, shows the entire text value of the multi-text value in a list, without truncating it. Without this attribute the string is truncated based on the UI property Number of characters displayed in list cells which is 40 by default.
