String size of ConfigId

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Kenneth Won 944

Hi all,

Is it possible to increase the String Size of ConfigId (EDT)? The current string size of ConfigId is 15, which means the user can only type 15 characters in this filed, and the user reported that there is not enough capacity for entering data. Can I make a change of it, let's say from 15 to 20?

And is there any concerns? Let's say the system original design, is there any fields which is combined by ConfigId and other fields: i.e.: field1 = configId + field2;

    only risk can be at views during synchronization (if its being used in any view). that can be resolved manually.

    other than that it should be nothing special as risk. yet you can use cross reference as Andre told, to check where its being coded/used

    Hi Tat,

    You can increase the size of ConfigID. For sure there can be some places where the field is concatenated with others. I have not investigated it before. You can use the cross reference tool in AX to find out where the EDT and the fields are used in coding.

    Also note that maybe 20 characters does not fit anymore on forms or reports.
