Project Field Depth

Project ID field is 20 characters long in AX 2012 R2 CU7.

AOT – Data Tables – Extended Data Types – ProjID.

The project ID length error sometimes occurs even when the previous project ID is of length of 17. 

This is because the moment the next project is created, the ‘Sub-project ID format’ field from the project is filled with the 'Default sub-project ID format' from the project parameters. 

System validates that assuming that the next project is created and shows the project length error. To get around this problem, go to project parameters remove the default sub-project ID format setup and then setup the sub-project. 

When the limit of the project id length reaches the Sub-project ID format field displays blank. Even if the user tries to enter # in it system errors.
