Issue/Introduction

A string attribute with maximum size set at 20 has been created. When it is attempted to reduce this number to 14, following error message appears in the UI:

ERROR: ODF-0207 Data size cannot be reduced

Resolution

The error message appears because the application prevents the loss of data within your database. Once a string attribute has been created, you can only increase the maximum size; you cannot decrease the maximum size.
