Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to "Custom Reusable Elements" app.

  4. Click on Edit.
  5. Modify property "Maximum Code Length".
  6. Click on Save and Publish.
  7. Getting error "Code list YY1_ABC is transported and its length can no longer be modified."

Cause

Changing the length of a code list is considered an incompatible change since it can introduce syntax errors in productive coding and potentially lead to data loss.

Resolution

Code length cannot be modified once the custom code list has been transported.
