Max length is increasing dynamically in the field in CRM 2011

Posted on by 160

Hi,

We have a comments field in the custom entity and Max length is 50. I noticed that Max length is increasing dynamically when we import a data with more than 50 characters in the comments field in CRM.

I don't know whether if it is a default behavior or if any configuration?

We are expecting to throw an error or failed message when comments is >50 character while import a data in the CRM.

How to restrict not to increase the Max length dynamically?

Really appreciate your input regarding this.

    I agree with Jason Lattimer's answer here: community.dynamics.com/.../230519

    You can't change this behavior for a long text field. You are best off just raising the limit or changing it to an NVARCHAR field.
