Hello @Devi priyanka 

 

You will first need to run a fix script which will reduce this field value in your existing records to the length you are putting. 

 

Then only you can change the field length without any errors.

 

Kindly mark my answer as helpful and accept solution if it helped you in anyway. This will help me be recognized for the efforts and also move this questions from unsolved to solved bucket.
