Assign dynamic field values with workflow

asked on September 22, 2017

I have a template with 3 Dynamic Fields:

Document Type 1    (No Parent)

Document Type 2    (Parent = Document Type 1)

Document Type 3    (Parent = Document Type 2)

 

This works great if the end user is filling in the data.  They click the dropdown button on the Type 1 field, select that type, click the dropdown button on Type 2 field and get the correct list of options and select their Type 2 value before finally completing the Type 3 field.

 

When we use workflow to populate the fields, on both the customers system and my demo system, when the document is opened, we are seeing the warning that is shown below.  And on the customers system (I could not duplicate this on my demo system), some documents will cause the client to lock when attempting to open up after the the workflow has indexed the dynamic fields.

We felt that the problem may be that the data was not the same, so we added a DocType ID to our link table for our Dynamic Fields and queried that table to get the 3 values.  This had no effect on the issue.

Any ideas as to why the warning about truncating the field data is showing up and/or if this is connected to the LF client lockup issues being seen only on documents that have had the dynamic fields populated by workflow?

Is it possible that the character type used in your SQL table is actually a fixed length type, rather than variable?  Perhaps this is causing an issue with blank characters counting towards the field length restriction.
