Combined Column Title Length is Too Long
Issue
You saw the following error when attempting to place a Plant Schedule:
Combined column title length is too long.
Cause
Your Plant Schedule column widths are determined by the number of characters in the User Field Title cells in the Plant Sizes Preferences (pictured below).
The six Title fields are only allowed to contain a total of 55 characters. (The characters in all the title cells are counted up and listed together, and cannot breech the 55-character count.)
This error will come up when these Title fields contain more than the allotted 55 characters.
A similar character limit is also imposed on the Description cells, but that limit there is much higher.
Solution
Open the Plant Sizes Preferences, and edit the Title fields so the total number of characters in all fields doesn't exceed the 55 limit. You should now be able to place a schedule without getting the error.
Alternative Solution
As an alternative, you can also add data tags to plants using our plant data tagging system and use the Plant Data option in the Plant Schedule dialog box to include those tags in your schedule.
