A little curiosity of mine is around this finding & why it is so…

Dynamics GP Item description field


Fill the item description field of an item in dynamics GP and then paste the text into a notepad application to measure its length. You will find it has a capacity of one hundred characters…

measure capacity of UI as 100


Yet have a look at the database, it has a field size of 101…

Database field length is 101

 

but look, the UI is limiting the keyable length to 100…

Keyable length of Item Description 100

 

So there is an “extra” inaccessible character in the descriptions that you cannot use? What secret confidential information do you keep in your extra description extra character?
