Good morning!

The Item Name field, in the Inventory on Hand form, shows only the first 60 characters of the items name. I've looked at its properties, but haven't found anything that could limit this field. I've also looked at the method which is used to show this field's value, but this method returns all the characters.

Does anybody know how can I take away this limit?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot! I have already changed the ItemName data type before and I did the same to the ItemNameDisplay and it worked.

StringSize property (= 60) is inherited from Name data type. Because you probably don't want to change size of all names in AX, you should set different StringSize for ItemName data type (you'll have to change it not to extend Name anymore). Modify also ItemNameCompany and ItemNameDisplay data types.
