On the Request form RQ301000, we would like to limit the number of characters in the RQRequestLine description field. The default limit is 256. Is there a relatively simple way to limit to 100 characters?

Hi
Do something like below in your extended DAC.
Use CacheAttached event of that field and set length as 100 in your DAC code.
[PXNonInstantiatedExtension]
public class RQ_RQRequestLine_ExistingColumn : PXCacheExtension<PX.Objects.RQ.RQRequestLine>
{
#region Description
[PXDBString(100, IsUnicode = true)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Description")]
protected void RQRequestLine_Description_CacheAttached(PXCache cache) { }
public string Description { get; set; }
#endregionNote : I have not tested the logic.
Hope, it helps

This would require a small customization. Are you familiar with customizing in Acumatica?

I have limited experience but have done a couple of small customization projects. I’m currently testing a solution.
