Hi Team,
In Default Dimension page of G/L Account, when we click into the Allowed Values Filter list and checks the boxes for the values that we want to allow, BC then creates the string when exiting the window.
However, if we click into the Allowed Values Filter list again and select more values, an error will occur and BC will remove the current string.
NOTE: the error only happens if the character is over 250 and the "|" being the last character in the string.
Without doing anything about this, users are effectively rendering the feature unusable for larger data sets as it is random whether the string ends in the "|" or not. Hence, please kindly consider adding some conditions in the code that the field should drop the final "|" if that is going to be the 250th character.
Thank you!

Filter strings used to be limited to 250 characters, but I'm pretty sure that limit was extended considerably, so you could even go to 2048 characters

I'd suggest allowing filter sets of 1024 chars to increase capacity of the functionality, and then trimming the pipe if the string needs truncating should the user for some reason exceed that capacity.

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team
