Hyper input - Field ... was truncated

Hello

I am using the new option to use hyper file in the input tool. Most of the times when I do this I get that some fields in the hyper file are being truncated at the input tool step.

Is there a way to go around this? Is this a bug?

Note the hyper file that I am using as input was created by Alteryx in another workflow.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I just tested this on v2021.3.4 and the issue has been fixed, I don't have any prior releases to test against.

* in which version of Alteryx was the hyper file created? There were some issues in the past in how the hyper file was created. for testing/troubleshooting purposes only try to have a match between the version of Designer/Server which created the hyper file and the one consuming it.

* can you send us a mock up version of the data in which you can reproduce the issue? we might be able to find the cause or help with a workaround if we can play with an actual hyper file

(you could throw some data into excel, create an hyper file with Alteryx and play with that)

Thanks @Loic

The hyper file was created in the same version I am consuming it in the input tool (2019.4.4.20206).

I think if the hyper file columns are bigger than 255 characters Alteryx is then truncating them. I tested adding a select tool just after the Input and all string fields were set as 255 size:

The problem is that the error is in the input step itself. When it gets to the second tool the data is already truncated.

Has this been fixed in later versions? If so, which version?
