data-assistant Append/Replace tool completes without error when target fields are too short, no data gets added

Append/Replace tool completes without error when target fields are too short, no data gets added. This may be specific with feature services as targets. Reported by City of Salt Lake, UT.

Should at least provide a warning (skip copy of long chars.)

Workaround - make all target fields 255.

@JRosenfeldIntern can you add this to your backlog?

@ChrisBuscaglia not sure I follow.

Lets say source = String(255) target = String(2)

If the source value was "Hello", it would map to "He". If this is the case, we should warn for truncation. Is that correct? Or is it all or nothing ("Hello" -> Null)?

@JRosenfeldIntern I'll have to retest, seems like we aren't doing any truncation as the tool stands now.

@ChrisBuscaglia having a hard time re-creating this one.

When I tried to pass a 255 into a length 2 text field, it fails for me and gives me this error
