How to increase standard length of combo field type for attributes


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hi Community,

 

I have used the segmented keys part of Acumatica to increase standard field lengths, but have not found a way to increase the standard length of a combo field for an attribute. It is set at 10 by default. Is there a way to increase this default to accept longer strings than 10? I am using 2022R1.  Thanks!

We want to load sku numbers into the box but the length of some of our skus exceeds 10 characters. It sounds like this is a customization so unless it is an easy one we’ll probably just redo the attribute as a text field.

I think text would be a better option without a customization. 

Good Luck!

HI @patrickACA 

Are you talking about the ValueID? If so, the standard out of the box is 10 characters. Anything else would be customized. It’s not the same as a regular numbering sequence, as it would need to be done through an actual customization.

Hi @patrickACA I believe you are talking about the value ID, and you would need to customize to achieve this. What about using the description field? I believe you can have as many as 250 characters

We have a similar situation wherein we need to increase the attribute description (not the id) length to accommodate product warning message. we are exploring a small customization to increase the length.
