About this task

The URL type field hides the Max Length field on the Dictionary form by default. Browsers support URL length up to 2,083 characters. The URL field is a String field.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to a form that contains the field that you want to modify.
  2. Right-click the field label in the form and select Configure Dictionary.
  3. Change the Max length field to the desired length.
    Note: You can change between string-based data types as long as length changes do not cause any data loss from truncation. For example, you can change from a MEDIUM database type to a VARCHAR(100) database type if none of the existing data is greater than 100.
  4. Click Update.
    The system cancels any length change that results in data loss due to truncation.
