The issue is with SMTPBounceReason. This field can return an excess of 4000 characters. To bypass this, remove leave the length field blank. This will force it to VARCHAR(MAX) (Over 4000 characters).

  • Is there a way to get the actual field name that is causing this? I have the same error, however it is a bunch of custom fields that I have, so I am quite lost as i am no tsure if i should just test 1 by one?

Relational Data

The Marketing Cloud data environment, exposed via Data Extensions, is relational. It is possible to designate fields in Data Extensions as a Primary Key. The values stored therein can similarly be placed in another Data Extension to operate as a Foreign Key. By doing so, those two data sets can be logically linked to enable greater sophistication for data storage and analysis procedures.

Any Data Extension spanning a cumulative field width greater than 4000 characters must be avoided. Avoiding excessive width is typically achieved by use of two Data Extensions that have been related via a Primary/Foreign Key relationship.
