Text and Text area limit of 100?

Posted on by DonV

Tough to know if this belongs here or in the PowerAutomate community, so I'm putting it in both.

I'm trying to Create a new record (Common Data Service) in PowerAutomate. The error I'm getting is:

{

"status": 400,

"message": "A validation error occurred. The length of the 'cr8a9_fullscopetextarea' attribute of the 'cr8a9_workorder' entity exceeded the maximum allowed length of '100'.",

"source": "orgd44a680b.crm.dynamics.com",

"errors": [],

"debugInfo": "clientRequestId: cb9c6f4d-71ba-40a7-b9ae-ab0de6d74ed4"

}

I can't find documentation on the limits of the Text or TextArea fields in Common Data Service. I don't know if this 100-character limit is on the Automate side or the CDS side. I find it hard to believe a TextArea is limited to 100 characters. If it is, what is used for larger blocks of text?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Solved over on the PowerAutomate forum by @edgonzales - cross-posted here for completeness:

Hi there. Most likely, this is coming from the CDS side of things. Since I'm not certain how familiar you are with CDS, you can check the field length by clicking on "Data" along the left rail, and then "Entities". This will take you to a list of entities in CDS (make sure you're in the right environment), so click on the entity you want and then find the field and click on that.

At the bottom of the thing that floats in from the right, there is "Advanced Options", which should include the "Max Length" of the field.
