> String or binary data would be truncated.

The error message usually specifies the table and [column](/power-apps/maker/data-platform/types-of-fields) that cause the truncation error.

## Cause

5. Increase the **Maximum character count** to accommodate the data length.
40-
6. Save and publish the changes.
