Hello all,

Can anyone please tell me what is the workaround solution of this error message?

The message is as follows:
"The Text 'xxx' is too long. The list of options can have a maximum lenght of 1024 characters".

Thx for quick reply.

regards

Nalinee

Shorten the option string.

I don't have even 1 character space remaining and I cannot shorten other option string.

So what can you propose next please?

Use abbreviations of the words.

or instead of options, use a code-field that points to a new table with code and description.

we are customising an existing application and need to add a new option to an existing option string.

However, the option string has reached its maximum character 1024.

Can any one suggest a simple and quick solution?

What field are you changing? If you have more than 10 option, it makes more sense to use a table

Like I said before : instead of using complete words as option, shorten them.

So I'm afraid we are stuck now #-o

Change the option field to code field

Yup, you'll have to go the table route like kriki and ara3n suggested.
