Maximum length for Attachment name

[Ruchi19]

Hi, I am trying to figure out what's the maximum length allowed on attachment name.

One of our user tried to attach the .msg (email) file and she received an error for the "too long attachment name"....

Does anyone know about this?

Thanks for your inputs

There is a limit of 100 characters for the attachment name and you can find information like this on your own by looking at the table and seeing what information it has for the particular field. Below is a screen shot of the attachment table that shows the file name has a max length of 100 characters.

Hi Ruchi,

You can modify this if necessary by looking at my previous post that was updated. All you need to do is navigate to the table and update the record to hold more than 100 characters.

Navigate to System Definition>Tables and search for the table labled Attachment. Click the column labeled File Name and update the max length field to a higher number.

Be careful not to go too high, 100 characters for a file name is a lot of characters already. Only set it as high as you think you'll need it.
