We are a couple of weeks into our go-live and my boss has asked me to shorten the length of the summary field. Our Help Desk staff is trying to write a novel in there! So, when I tried to shorten the field length of the Subject field on the Incident BO, I get the following message:
"Unable to alter column Subject due to Data access error. String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated."
i initially though this was due to the fact that there was data in those fields way over the shortened amount. I edited all the Subject values in SQL so they were all under the new value and I am still getting the same error. The following SQL query comes back with no results:
SELECT [IncidentNumber] ,[Status] ,[Subject] ,LEN(Subject) FROM [IvantiSM-STG].[dbo].[Incident] WHERE LEN(Subject) > 45
What am I missing here?
