How to limit a "Spare Field" field to a maximum of 18 characters in a service item parameter on the web portal?

Did you try to limit the data length for that column in Designer? You can specify a max. length there.

Hi Markus, by doing that, wouldn't i be limiting all places that use this table in the web portal?

You would limit the column to all entries in PersonWantsOrg.CustomProperty02 and ShoppingCartItem. CustomProperty02, but maybe that is not what you intended.

You've hit on my concern. I need to limit the field's length exclusively in this one instance, as I cannot allow it to impose restrictions on other parts of the system that rely on PWO.

Btw, thanks for helping me out.

I've identified two potential solutions. I could apply a formatting script directly to the customproperty02 table, but it would need a condition to only affect the specific service item. Alternatively, I could create a request property without the legacy definition, as it offers a value calculation option. However, I'm unsure how to write the necessary code for that calculation, as there are no examples available.
