Issue
If a memo variable contains more than ~65146 quotation marks ("), the following errors may be generated at user actions associated with the folder:
Failed to invoke action or Engine exception: Failed to refresh form .
Windows application event viewer: Unable to save Server Data delta. Error '-2147467261', .
Metastorm Designer log: Unable to save Server Data.
A folder containing such a memo field will pass through a System stage without a problem. Folder pages (forms) containing the field can be opened. The problem occurs at user actions. If there's a variable assignment (any variable) made When user loads form or When action started, the action fails and the user gets the error Failed to invoke action. If no variable assignment is made, the action form is displayed properly. If a server operation is made on the action form, for example When button pressed, the error Engine exception: Failed to refresh form is displayed.
