Error Message: Field length exceeds 255 characters. Invalid update

[RGC9]

Changed the string field's max character length from 255 to 400 in dictionary. Field size has increased and it allowed me to enter the data up to 400 characters but throwing an error "Value(field) length exceeds 255 characters" aborting the record update action.

Help please!

@RGC9 Looks like on update of the record, a business rule is triggering and it is checking if the length is greater than 255 characters, in such case it is using current.setAbortAction(true); to abort the update.

Please search for such business rule and comment the code or deactivate the BR. You can also search the BR by applying a filter script contains current.setAbortAction(true);

Hope this helps.
