Dear Ali Awan,

For each field in Dynamics AX we have a extended data type also. You can open the dynamics Development workspace using Ctrl+Shift+W keys and open the AOT. In AOT go to data dictionary and select Extended Data type and search JournalDescription or Description and change the string size to 200. If the description is changed all the description field throughout the AX will be changed to 200. For journal only change JournalDescription. Hope it will solve your issue.

Dear Omer,

Thnak you for your prompt response. we have already check that while the string size field in uneditable. please advise.

Dear Ali,

Actually i told you 2 EDTs the JournalDescription is uneditable as it is further extended from Description, you can edit the description EDT or create a new EDT named InventoryMovementJournalDescription and link to your filed of interest.

Regards,

Omer Awan

if i  increase the length of description then what will happen any issue?

No issue will occur. As this is used to change the field length if required. May be it increase the size of the DB.

Dear Omer,

Jazakallah for you kind help.

can we revert back if we require.

Dear Ali,

Yes you can revert back but keeping in mind the data will be truncated if it is lower than actual value
