Symptom
You are trying to identify the MaxLength for an specific field, but the information in blank in the OData API Data Dictionary.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to OData API Data Dictionary
- Filter by the entity you are searching
- Find the field you are looking for (in this example we will use the 'createdDateTime' field)
- You will see that the MaxLength field is empty
Resolution
When the MaxLength field is empty, it means the field does not have a limited length.
Each field may have a different reason to be configured with unlimited length.
