Filepath Length Limit
« on: May 29, 2015, 05:59:44 pm »
I'm adding file links to SysML blocks to refer to external information. During a change of the underlying file structure I started to hit the length limit of the EA Filepath field (Error DAO.Field[3163]). The link I'm trying to add to Filepath in this situation has 291 characters.

Is there a way to extend this limit? Without that I would loose the benefit of an easy access to external documents.

Best,
M.

You could change the underlying table but that's not recommended. It might result in overflows in certain code parts of EA. You might send a feature request and take a looong breath.

You'll need more than a deep breath. In fact I doubt that even if all your friends, not so friends, and a number of EA trainers  wanted this ... but I waste my breath ...
