Notes Character Limit in NAV

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Information I have read on the Notes field seems to indicate it is unlimited. I've even read that entire email messages can be posted in Notes. However, whenever we try to copy and paste an email (the sample has 1,041 characters we are trying to paste) into Notes, it gets truncated/cut off/doesn't display entire message (only 827 of the 1,041 characters appear in the Paste).

  1. Does anyone have insight as to the character limit for Notes?
  2. And why does part of an email message get deleted when we copy/paste in Notes?

Thank you!

    Note in Record Link table is a BLOB field, not a text one. You can enter a maximum of 30 lines of text in the note.
