Hi Guys,

 

I have created a field element called memo description using the type memo to hold large amount of value, while calling the filed using targetdata . memodescription inside the delivery to print the value stored in memo description, the value is not populating.

 

But i tried calling someother filed using target data , that field value is populating correctly.

Hi @haricharan,

Is the memo field holding data in the actual data table or are you populating it in the temp table while the workflow is executing?

I tried adding memo type field to my recipient table, and put values into it, both string and xml. The preview displayed without issues.

 

If you can share your code, may be the community can help better.

Hello @haricharan,

I think you can only hold 255 characters when you create column within your workflow. 

 

  • I did try to ALTER the temporary table column on fly

 

-- Alter the table to change the length of the varchar column to 2000 ALTER TABLE your_table ALTER COLUMN your_column TYPE VARCHAR(2000);

 

  • you can create schema and varchar field with as many charcters needed

 

<attribute length="5000" name="Memostring" type="string"/>

 

then try to copy your memo here within workflow 🙂

Hi,

 

I updated the schema with the following attributes

 

<attribute  length="5000" name="Memostring" type="string"/>

 

And still could not able to populate more values!

 

Is there any other field can be used to populate more values.
