Remove ootb document attributes constraint

[ailut]

Hi Guys,

I want to remove the OOTB String Length constraint for the Document Type (actually I would need that the maximum length accepted to be on 40 char instead of 160). Is this possible?

How can it be done?

Thanks,

Alex

you can add new string length constraint to limit name to 40 chars

Hi Shreyas,

That is true and valid when you give the name yourself. The problem appears when you add a primary content source with the name larger than 40 char. Windchill will accept the name even if you set the constraint to 40 char.

Thanks,

Do you want to restrict fileName/Primary content name to <40 chars ?

Thanks

Is it possible? I guess that is a solution also.

Thanks,

Are you using Windchill 10.2? I tested this in 10.1,10.2, and 11.0, and it looks like in 10.2 it ignores the constraint if Name is populated as a result of selecting a file with a value greater than the max characters specified for the String Length constraint. In 10.1 and 11.0, however, it recognizes the constraint when populating Name via the selection of a file. In 10.1 it only populates the max number of characters allowed by the constraint. In 11.0 it throws an error when you try to complete the Document creation process that indicates that Name is too long.
