KEA5: Create Characteristic with reference to existing values

515 Views

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new characteristic via transaction KEA5 with reference to existing values, meaning pointing to an existing data element.

Is there a reason, why the data element name is restricted to 20 characters only? Ususally data elements may have a length of 30 characters and the one I would like to select is more than 20 characters long. Unfortunately it would be a big hassle, to shorten the name, since the data element is also used in our customer specific NewGL fields.

Looking into the details, the limitation of 20 characters is only on the screen itsself - not on the underlying data element.

Can anybody give me some info on this issue?

Thanks a lot & best regards,

Sebastian
