Hello Marketo community!

I have this issue for some weeks ago that my source of a lead change auto. in Marketo from:


The reason for this is that there is a limit in SF with 43 characters, and that is fine (or I can do anything about it).

But do someone have a solution for this what we can do about it? We doesn't want this do change. 

can someone help here?

Can figure out what to do.

You could recreate this as a custom picklist in Salesforce. 

Custom picklists allow up to 255 characters per entry as opposed to 40 characters for standard picklists.

Looks like SFDC is the culprit here. Did you check the string length on the field in SFDC?

Yes and there is a string length on the field in SFDC of 43 characters, but can someone figure out a solution for this problem? You know, think creative
