Setting the Field Text Length

The Text Length Override field user property configures Siebel CRM to use the text length of a field instead of the database column to determine the maximum field length. You can use this field user property only for a text field. The value for this user property must include text. If this user property:

• Exists. The Text Length property of this field determines the maximum field length regardless of the value that the user property contains. This situation is true even if the value is empty.
• Does not exist. The size of the database column determines the maximum field length.
