This error often occurs after <EM><STRONG>some</STRONG> </EM>of the data has been appended! It would be better if the mapping tool either displayed the column width along with the "(Text)" - e.g. (Text- 20) or raised a flag to indicate that the input field is longer than the target field. You could then either proceed or come up with a solution before it does only some of the features.</P> Thu, 06 Oct 2022 19:01:06 GMT AlecBost 2022-10-06T19:01:06Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-ideas/smarter-field-mapping-append/idi-p/925536 <P>I often have to put data into a particular Data Model for our clients and then get an error that the string is too long to fit in the field where I've mapped it.
