Resolution

The following guide Custom Field Limits on Pre-delivered and Custom MDF Generic Objects has the table lists for the mapped MDF data types.

For example, the Attachment field is considered as number type. The below table you can find the limit for each field type:

Fields for custom generic objects

Based on the internal configuration, custom MDF objects will have either of these sets of limits:

  • 75 string fields
  • 65 number fields
  • 60 decimal fields
  • 30 date fields

Or

  • 150 string fields
  • 100 number fields
  • 100 decimal fields
  • 75 date fields
Note:You get a warning message when 80% of the limit is reached and an error message when the limit is exceeded.

Although objects might be allowed to have higher limits, it is always recommended to keep the limits even below the lower limits to avoid performance issues.
