Problem Description:

We found limitation in our eB Web system whereby only 255 characters are allowed inside remarks column. If we try to add more than 255 characters, it throws below error message:

 

Root Cause:

All the properties of any Object are hard coded for limited character use and cannot be modified. It is related to the database definition.

 

Workaround:

As we are not supposed to extend the limitation of Property section, we have option to add more fields for any object to define it in maximum characters using Attribute Tab.
We can use “Memo Type” attribute to extend the limitation of 255 characters and put additional field visible for eB Web Edit/View mode.

 

Note: To avoid the confusion between field in Property section and in Attribute section, we can Hide Property section field using Layout Editor and make Attribute section field Visible to define the object.
