I am new to AX 2009. I am adding a new field to the Tax 1099 tab for vendors to store additional info. I created a new extended type that is a 9 char. string. When I create a new string field on the VendTable the default length is 10. I then change it to use my extended type (9 chars in length). When I try to save the changes I get the text that says "...could result in data truncation". I know that is fine because this is a new field and there is no data in the db yet.
BUT - I also get the message "The action you have taken will drop and re-create the table VENDTABLE and all associated index. This can be caused by renaming a field or changing the type and/or size of the field."
It's unclear to me if it is ok for me to continue. If I continue will I loose all the data in my VENDTABLE or will the data be re-created along with the table?
I've read the information here but I'm still unsure if I will loose my VENDTABLE data or not if I continue.
