Hi Experts,

I am trying to fill  drop down field using my own table in a view and it is giving me a error saying "Entity is too long".Please help me how to proceed in this case.

Hi,

When ever we are using drop down list boxes in CRM, the key is stored in the database.

The Standard structure shows the key field is of 40 chars, but it accepts only 2 Chars if we pass other than that it gives an error message as you get "entry is  too long ".

Try to Change the key value to " 2 " Chars and try, this time you won't get the error Message.

Hi Mansi,

The error is not Entity, but "Entry 3 is too long". This error comes when one of the attributes is too long that it doesn't satisfy the property of the attribute type technically or functionally. With the info provided, it is difficult to say which attribute. But I would suggest you to check the field Changed At, Object GUID. Also since it is custom component, is the error being raised by you in the code?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi Leon,

Yes you are correct...Its not entity,its entry.But before changing the field to drop down,everything was working fine.As soon as i changed the field into drop down field,this error is coming.

Hi,

Which field have you changed to dropdown?

Check the field entries if it align with the length defined in its data type/domain.

Thanks & Best Regards,
