Hi @iqraharrison48 

Along with what @aaghaei  stated, you can view in the DAC for those characters

Description fields typically are 256 characters but you can brows to the DAC properties of each field to see the exact length. Detail Description is a multiline text varchar(max) that might differ depending on your DB provider but I would say if you are on SQL it can go up to 65,555 bytes combined row but I have seen Acumatica has limited it to 8,000 if I recall correctly in the DAC properties.

If you need you can increase the char length by using customization project
