  Characteristics '&1': This indicates the name of the characteristic that you are trying to set.
  Value '&2': This is the value you are attempting to assign to the characteristic.
  Length limit '&3': This specifies the maximum number of characters allowed for that characteristic.
  
  Cause
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to input a value for a characteristic that exceeds the defined length limit in the system.
  The characteristic has been configured with a specific length in the system settings, and the value you are trying to assign surpasses that limit.

  Check Characteristic Definition:

  Look for the characteristic definition and check the maximum length allowed for the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Modify the Value:

  Ensure that the new value still makes sense in the context of your business process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Characteristic Length (if applicable):
  
  If it is necessary for your business process to have longer values, you may consider adjusting the maximum length of the characteristic in the configuration settings. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires proper authorization and testing to ensure it does not affect other parts of the system.
