Field is too large (32K) error when saving doc

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a form with a series of 10 fields that could have up to 10k of data. When more than 3 or 4 are populated the document will not save and I get a “Field is too large (32K) or View’s column and selection formula is too large.” I put a loop in the querysave event to print the size of each item. Nothing is more than 10K. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Thanks

The total size for the Summary buffer is probably upwards of 50K this will throw the error you are seeing upon saving the doc.

If you aren’t using the fields in a view change them to RichText or try setting the Summary flag on the items to false in querysave.

if my fields are List_1 - List_10 is this what I need to add to my querysave event. It is not working

For i = 1 To 20

Set nitem=doc.getfirstitem(“List_” & Cstr(i))

nitem.issummary=False

UI Saves tend to trample the IsSummary flag, perhaps it would be easier to change the fields on the form to Rich Text, or RichTextLite, then make an agent to go back and change the field types on the existing documents accordingly.
