Issue
- When the name of a form field is entered in the Properties Editor in the Designer, the maximum number of characters that can be entered is 20. Is this the maximum length that's permitted?
Resolution
No, the maximum length is 63, which is determined by the size of the column eFieldName in the table eField in the database.
If a field name longer than 20 characters is desired, rename the field using the Procedure Explorer. Right-click on the field, select Rename, and enter the name, up to a maximum of 63 characters. If more than 63 characters are entered, the procedure will fail to publish with an error specifying the field name size.
