Hello,

I am trying to update the length of Subject field in Email entity from 850 to 3000. On update, I am getting below error-

'Length is not valid because this is an indexed attribute and hence cannot have size greater than 1700.'

I tried below solutions :

- export attribute in Solution, edit customization XML file & replace new length. On reimport I was getting same error.

- I have removed the entity from relevance and customized search

- I have removed the field from Quick Find view.

Still the error is occurring.

Any solution on removing this error?

Thanks.

Hello friend,

As this field is a native one, and there is already an internal index called ndx_StateCodeSubject, there is no way to update subject size to any value greater than 1700.

1700 is the maximum value allowed on this Subject field on Email entity.
