    Hi,

    Technically speaking you need to open that table in the development environment and change the length of that field from 20 to 250.

    BUT i strongly discourage this kind of modification, since it involves changes on several tables, (will take quite a time to figure out all the ones involved and some overflow error will happen for sure) and makes your database harder to upgrade.

    It would be better if you consult with your technical team.

    Also have a look on mentioned link: dynamicsuser.net/.../increasing-field-lengths-in-navision

    Best Regards,

    Paras Mehan
