Stakeholder: Creation dialog allows any number of characters as "Description", the form only 255
Any number (million) of characters can be entered and also saved as description when creating. The form allows only 255 characters. No limit is specified in the model.
If no limit is entered in the model, fields created from the model automatically get the limit of 255 characters. Therefore, this limit is active in the form. However, during creation, the text field at this point is built manually and not from the model and has no such limit.
Since there is also no database mapping defined for this field, it probably ends up as a CLOB in the FLEX_DATA table.
So you can create stakeholders whose description cannot be edited or saved afterwards because it is too long.
The previously implicit limit is now made explicit and also taken into account during creation.
Test
The creation dialog as well as the editing forum for stakeholders allow a maximum of 255 characters for the field "Description".
