Yes, we can easily change the field length of an existing text field. We will have to just make changes in the component file. Here, for example, we have changed the field length of the text type field (i.e. \u201cTest\u201d) from 20 to 30.<\/p>\n

FamilyType=’Tags’;
\nFamily=’ColNames’;
\nCode=’comp_test’;
\nCaptions[‘US’]=’Test’;
\nAddCaption();<\/p>\n

AddColumn(‘Company’,’comp_test’,’10’,’(30)<\/strong>‘,’true’,’false’);
\nvar EditsId11144 = AddCustom_Edits(‘Company’,’comp_test’,’10’,’0′,”,’20’,”,”,”,”,”);
\nAddCustom_Data(‘Custom_Edits’,’ColP’,’ColP_ColPropsId’,’ColP_ColPropsId,ColP_TiedFields,ColP_Restricted,ColP_DataType,ColP_DataSize’,EditsId11144+’,”,”,””,”4″,”30″‘,’1’)<\/p>\n

You can make the changes highlighted in bold in your ES file for that field to increase its length to 30. Run this ES file as a component file and now its length will be increased to 30.<\/p>\n
