Portal Entity Form - Custom Javascript size exceeded

Custom JavaScript exceeded the maximum number of 1 Lakh characters in Portal Entity Form.

I found the below two as solutions to overcome this, but I need a suggestion to follow the best approach.

Increase the maximum length of the field ‘Custom JavaScript’ in the entity ‘Entity Form’

(Note: I tried increasing the maximum length in trail instance and it is working fine as expected. As it is a trail instance, unable to do impact analysis). Reference URL : http://sharathdozen.blogspot.com/2017/11/increasing-maximum-character-limit-for.html

2. Adding Custom Scripts in the associated web page of the entity form.

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,

Nandhini M

you can increase the field size of the JS field, there is no issue there

but.. if you are exceeding the maximum you should revisit your JS code

try creating as much reusable functions as possible

create a common library and store in the head/bottom or tracking code snippet

if your "library" is used only in your entity form, create a snippet just for that and call in your entity form

Hi Nandhani,

I faced the same issue once and overcome it but compressing the JS code using the tools available online https://jscompress.com/. The downside for this is that everytime you made a change on your uncompressed code, you need to compress it again before saving it on entity form.

Hope this helps.

Hello Nandhini

My suggestion is place entire script into one JS file and add it as a web file and refer it in your web template (if you are using web template to render entity form) else you can refer JS file under Header/footer (if you are using header /footer) web template also since it is common across the portal.

Thanks and Regards

James

Hi there, this looks like the exact answer I need. I'm very new to portals and tried a few tutorials to add javascript in this way however, its not working.

Could you send instructions or a link to instructions for this? Thanks!
