Field Character Length Limit

[melango]

Hello All,

Can anybody help me with this situation????

----------------------

The total character field names of all custom fields, not field lengths. When added together should not exceed a certain limit set by Salesforce

Example:

Account Object

custom field name 1 = 10 characters

custom field name 2 = 15 characters

then you have consumed 25 characters against this limit. I am guessing the limit is 10000 characters for all custom fields in the org.

----------------------------------------------------

Now the solution we have to come up with :

Have a counter that gives the total count of all field characters of an object then subtract with the maximum limit count (Pre-Fixed or hard coded)

So the developers or admins know the information while creating the fields further ... to use it sensibly.

Do anyone of you think its possible? If so, can you please guide me.
