Check the field label length and description that you have given for it.

Hi,

The erroe is due to the field label exceeding the desired length... The length is 15 chars...so please change the field lable up to 15 chars only and then try to activate.

The error is resolved but the decription in the table is not being taken from dataelment.it is taken from domain.I want to take description from data element description instead of domain.please guide.

Hi,

It won't take from domain it always takes from data element... data element only stores the semantic information... Try to change the domain description to someother and then activate both domain and dataelement...and also table and then see...It will take from data element only.
