increase variable length for label variable in catalog item

[srujana2]

Hi All,

I have a label field ..Label name contains nearly 500 characters but variable(question) cant access that much length.

How to add 500 characters(text) to Question variable.

How to achieve this?

Thanks in advance..

Hi Srujana,

OOB field length for Question is 255. You need to do below.

1. Open the required variable form.

2. Right click the Question field & then Configure Dictionary

3. Then update Max length field.

Another option is as Kieran suggested & would recommend the same.

Hi Srujana,

I would recommend not touching the length as it would be global impact.

Also it is good user experience to have smaller question label so that the form looks proper and is user friendly

Thanks for updating Ankur..

Is there any way to add text in Question(min 500 characters for Label field) without touching length in Dictionary..

Thanks in advance..

@srujana 

no there is no other way.

the only option if you want to achieve this is to use label and help text to that
