Hello All,

 

  I would appreciate if anybody could provide some insight into this error:

 

The weird part of the below exception is: the field is 255 characters long and the string is not even 50 characters.

 I am at my wit's end regarding this problem. Any information would be very helpful.

 

Thanks & Regards,

K.

 

length of ReferenceNumber: 255

Thanks Souvik. Seems there was another object that's related to this object and a user had updated that field on that object while we were testing it. But still, thanks for taking the time to respond.
