Increase search size string ctrl-G Grid in Dynamics AX

I have a dummy question:P

I am working on Microsft Dynamics AX 12 and I have a requirment that says I have to increase the search text in some grids. The worflow is quite simple. Just open any AX Form that contains a GRID , then press the ctrl G shortcut. After that will appear some searchboxes ,these searchboxes have maximum length of 256 chars.

My problem is that I would like to increase the input text length of these textboxes and I do not how to do this?

Solution

  • You can change the length of the individual fields in the grid by setting the DisplayLength property on the extended data type or the field control itself.

    The display length of the search field should be identical to the field length.

    If there a build-in restriction on the length of the query range value, there is nothing you can do about it, other than raise a support case with Microsoft. See here how to do so.
