The length of an input field is determined by the data type of the attribute that is bound to its "value" property. If you go to your context and change the data type of that attribute to CHAR40, your input field will automatically be adjusted.

Otherwise you can adjust it manually with the property "width" of the input field from the layout.

I can't repeat your problem. Only till 40 symbols is allowed.

Hello!

Try to explicitly set "length" property of the input field to 40.

Hi Sven,

The actual length allowed by an InputField is not the domain's Format Length but rather its Output Length. Take a look at the domain behind your data element and see what is the Output Length for the domain. For example...

Amy
