Process fails to save or clone with "Unique Name: data value too large"
Last updated 2022-02-10 ·Reference W-2811859 ·Reported By 39 users
Summary
When using a Field Label of 28 characters or more we go above a limit of characters when saving an action.
Repro
1. Add a custom field to any object, with a field name length between 28 and 40 (the maximum), such as "X28CharactersInTheFieldLabel"
2. Create a process on above object with any criteria
3. Add a schedule with an action and choose "Update Records"
4. For the field, select the new custom field
5. Select formula as the type
6. Enter any valid formula for this field
7. Save
Workaround
At the moment the only alternative would be to reduce the number of characters of the Custom Field label.
