SharePoint Field Names have 32 Character Limit – So Do Replicated Profile Property Names

Category: SharePoint, TechnologyAdam Toth @ 9:14 am

I ran into a situation where I created a User Profile Property with the Replicable checkbox set, which had a really long name. There were no errors when saving the profile property, however later on I started receiving errors in the Event Log:

failure trying to synch site [guid] for ContentDB [guid] WebApp [guid].  Exception message was A WSS internal name for profile property ‘ProfilePropertyWithReallyLongName’ could not be found..

Apparently SharePoint has a limit of 32 characters for Internal Field Names. This will also apply to Replicable User Profile Properties since they will get synced down to the WSS Content DB in the UserInfo list.

    The very root of your writing is wonderful and settles properly with me personally. Someplace within the sentences you were able to make me a believer. I however need more information and would like you to create more as often as you can. In the event you actually accomplish that, I could certainly be fascinated. I may pop in from time to time to review your updates!
