Hi,
If for example I have a variable “check if this question is already answered or not in the form”.
now snow will auto populate internal name with “_” with small case.
Is it okay/ recommended for internal name to be such long? I think it should not
please let me know

Its not related to any requirement of mine. I just wanted to know if it is a best practice to have internal name short? Any limit on number of variables ?

Hi @Pradeep907
If for example I have a variable “check if this question is already answered or not in the form”.
now snow will auto populate internal name with “_” with small case.
Atul: Its now SNOW, its SN or ServiceNow
Is it okay/ recommended for internal name to be such long? I think it should not
Atul: Practically NO. If it small easy to use.
Give a try and see what length it accepts.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.
