Text Length Override User Property

19 January 2010 744 views 2 Comments



Text Length Override is a Field User Property and is used to restrict the text entered in a column.

Now suppose the requirement/ business rule is that the column should not allow the text greater than 30 char and all the columns which are present on the DB for reuse is of length greater than 30 say 100,250, etc.

The first option a developer is look for will be creating a new column but here we have restriction that we cannot extend the column. There are many empty columns on the DB for re-use then we can use this property to restrict user to enter the characters to desired length (less than the max length of column used ) no matter the size of column used.

Text Length Override User Property

Now if we directly give this column in field then user will be able to enter 100, 250 char etc but that is not required therefore in the field which uses the column of length > 30 char we add a field user property “Text Length Override” and leave the Value column null. While creating a field the text length property decides how much character a user can enter in the fied. So if the column on the DB level has 100 char and in the field the text length property has 30 as value the the filed will accept 30 char only and not 100.

    Wouldn’t setting the length property at Bc/field level have the same effect?

  • Sachin Gupta said:

    No Georges, That is not the case. The Text length property at the field level signifies the maximum length of the text in the field.This property is usually ignored and the text to enter in a control is retrieved from the underlying column definition. Text Length is not ignored if a Text field has a user property named Text Length Override. Pls let me know if this clarifies.

    Thanks
    Sachin
