Restrict the Entry of Characters in a List Column or Control

The length of the fields can be restricted on the application UI level with the help of the Field User Property called Text Length Override. Below is the syntax for configuring this Field User Prop:

Name: Text Length Override
Value:
For example, if the requirement is to restrict the 'Description' field in the 'My Opportunities View' to 10 characters, then perform the following steps:
Log into Siebel Tools.

Query for the Opportunity business component, expand to its child object Field, and then query for field "Description".

Expand to this field child's object Field User Prop and add a new record.

Specify the properties Name as Text Length Override (Case is Important) and value as 10.

This user property is restricted for Text type fields. This cannot be used for Number type fields
