acumatica limit on characters in description field

Hi ​@EricTaylor 

I checked the database schema. The Description (Descr) field is defined as nvarchar(256), so the maximum supported length is 256 characters.
 

​@EricTaylor You can increase the length using customization.https://community.acumatica.com/reports-and-generic-inquires-115/how-to-increase-the-length-of-stock-item-description-30989

Hi ​@EricTaylor    If you want to identify a field's type, size, and other technical details, you can follow the steps below. This will be very helpful for future customizations and development.

1. Navigate to Customization and click the Inspect Element icon located in the top-right corner of the screen.
2. Click on the field for which you want to view the details.
3. The Inspect Element window will display useful information, including:
   • Control Type
   • Data Class (DAC)
   • Data Field
   • View Name
   • Business Logic
4. Click on the Data Class hyperlink. This will open the DAC Schema Browser in a new tab.
5. In the DAC Schema Browser, you can view all the fields in that DAC, along with their:
   • Field Name
   • Display Name
   • Data Type
   • Field Size
   • Other field properties

This is one of the easiest ways to identify field definitions and understand the underlying data structure in Acumatica, and it's a technique you'll find useful in future development and troubleshooting tasks.
