Is it possible to change the character length’s in the basic data fields?
I am specifically looking to increase the Commodity group code that sits in inventory part.
Many Thanks

Updating Character Length in Basic Data
Best answer by AHMET.GULTEKIN
it can only be done by modification. But not recomended. Everywhere it had been fetched into and referenced form must be enlarged and that is the other word of creating a buggy system. Instead you can create custom field marked as public and hold extended info there, add reference custom fields on entities where needed on screen or report layout.

+18Hi
Do you want to change the layout by increasing the group code filed or do you want to increase the length of the filed to increase more characters in it?
If you want to adjust the layout, you can do it through the layout property. (as shown below)
If you need to increase the length of the database or client end, then you need to do it as a customization change.
Hope this info helps.
