    EDT extensions and table extensions don't exist in AX2012.

    I don't see harm if you are increasing the length of EDT.  If you are creating new EDT, you will need to  apply this on all other tables where same field is used. Can you post the error message to get the better idea?

    Hi Shilpi,

    As everyone suggested you can create new EDT for this field.

    Also if it's showing error after db sync or full CIL. You please try to restart the AOS service and check.

    Hello Shilpi,

    What's the 'value' added from changing the journal description field?

    As you continue working with AX the posted journal name records will grow and you will probably need to delete them via the cleansing jobs to keep your system fast.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Ok. Did you happen to read the error message? What did it say? And when exactly are you getting this error message?

    You need to synchronize the database after making changes in the data model.

    And of course you need to do the sync also when deploying your changes to test & prod.

    If you create a new EDT and use it in LedgerJournalTable.Name, it will only impact this field / form.

    It also means that if this field is used on some reports or somewhere else in the system, the text might be cropped to 60 characters.

    Nikolaos, Thank you for your reply.

    IF I will create new Edt and will apply in name field of LedgerJournalTable.Name ,So will it impact on other form or table.
