I even update the field length through AGOL, but when the data updates the field length reverts to 255 characters.</P> Fri, 15 Dec 2023 13:48:42 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/is-it-possible-to-set-the-field-length-when/m-p/1361354#M69424 HayesBuchanan 2023-12-15T13:48:42Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/is-it-possible-to-set-the-field-length-when/m-p/1537417#M72807 <P>I know this is 3 years ago but did you find a solution? - I have the same problem...</P> Wed, 11 Sep 2024 16:25:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/is-it-possible-to-set-the-field-length-when/m-p/1537417#M72807 DBlake 2024-09-11T16:25:05Z
