How To Fix COM_PRODUCT_CUSTMSG015 - Attribute value &2 too long; shorten your entry to &1 characters

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_PRODUCT_CUSTMSG - Product: Customer-Specific Messages

• Message number: 015

• Message text: Attribute value &2 too long; shorten your entry to &1 characters

What causes this issue?

Attribute values correspond to characteristic values in the SAP system.
Characteristic values can have a maximum of 30 characters in the SAP
system, whereas attribute values can have a maximum of 132 characters in
the CRM system. Attributes are limited to 132 characters if they are
used on the user interface in product maintenance, otherwise this
restriction does not apply.
If you intend to transfer this data from the CRM system to an SAP system
and want to avoid extensive mapping, attribute values should not contain
more than 30 characters, because object dependencies do not support
attribute values that are longer.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
