Set custom length for field in object

Hello



Creatio by default allows a user to choose between 50, 250 and 500 as max lengths of a Text column from the Object designer. We have a use case where we have to set a specific max length for a field Eg Text (80 charecters). Find below a few questions in this regard 

1. Is there a way to set this custom max length for that object from the Creatio GUI?

2. If #1 is not possible, Can this be set directly at the database/data model layer? If Yes, How? Also, will such a limit automatically bubble upward to the UI? ie If the field is set to 80 charectars and an input field is linked to it, Does a validation of max 80 charectars on the UI automatically apply?

3. The following link provides guidelines on how to custom implement an input validation on the UI. Will such a validation also work on Creatio Mobile?

Hello. Would really appreciate some help on this question

M Shrikanth,

 

1. There is no way to set the custom max length for a field from the Creatio GUI.

 

2. It's possible to set the custom max length for a field via development by creating a field validator. Please find the examples in the article on Academy:

3. The validation functionality must be developed in the mobile application separately. You need to create a custom business rule in the mobile for that. The guidelines can be found in the article on Academy:

Hello,

 

On the object level it's not possible however field validator can be used on the page where the field is added to ensure the value has a specific length and prevent saving when the field length is greater than some value. Here is an article regarding field validators in Freedom UI.
