Method:API Q&A

Re: Field Size change not working in API

I was working with a table Organization, the field was Description. I believe I created this custom table.

This morning, I tried it again, and it worked. So I am wondering if it just took time for the Database update to propagate to the MethodAPIFieldListV2 function. Anyhow, it worked this morning.

Thanks,

Mike.

Hi Mike,

Clearing the cache was a good thought. What table are you working with? If you run a MethodAPIFieldListV2 for the table does the Description reflect the size change you made?

Hello,

I have a field in method called description that was originally 30 characters. I have an entry from a website that I am tranferring to method. The text from the web site happen to be 31 characters. So the method insert failed. I updated the Description to 50 characters, but the web site insert to method is still complaining that the size of my entry is larger than 30 characters. I am not sure how to resolve. I tried clearing the cache and different browswers, it seems stuck.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
