Thanks

That is very big change all dependent also we have to change.Looking for Better approach
Try to sync maybe it will take the changes.
Also , what dependents are we talking here , can't you just remap the fields but keep the same naming as before?
My assumption is that this has zero impact. Appian does not do any length checks internally. Except the 4k text field check for synced records.
Hi, When you change the length in the database for a field and you want to make the change in the record, you can click on Map Record Fields.
Then you can see a new Source Field Name at the end of the page for which you changed the length. You can click on the checkbox and click on finish to apply the changes. (In the below example before it is 255 but now I changed it to 400).
Then check the dependents of the record and try to make the changes where this field is mapped.
