When editing an existing record, the maximum width is determined by the maximum of the format or the existing length of the field. If a character field is already past the format length, it is not possible to add extra characters to it. Although technically correct, it would be convenient if the limit was higher. As of v24 the new maximum length is now the maximum of the format x 2 or the current length x 2.
