Hi, You can change 'String Size' property of 'AssetName' EDT and database sync.

Hi Sharlene,

It would require customization. Find out the EDT used for the Name field and increase the field size.

Changing the size of the EDT will affect all the places where it was used.

So better option will be creating new EDT and mapping it to the name field.

Thanks,

Girish S.
