Definition

Length of the title (number of characters) that can be assigned as field label to a data element.

A maximum of 55 characters is allowed.

Note that the length that is entered is the upper limit for the lengths of all translations of the entered text. The maximum length of the title should therefore be somewhat longer than the entered text in the original language.

Also note that the title is often displayed for editing list output of the corresponding column. The length of the title should therefore not exceed the length of the data element.
