Swarup,
I double checked and I see I had no data in my test table, that's why I
observe different message. I also confused the property with the "Default
value" property.
It would be best if you add a bug report to bugs.kde.org then, thanks.
In the report I will be can recommend a warkaround for you for changing the
property without removing data.

Hello Jaroslaw, <br>
I was so happy to hear your good news. I opened my Kexi table, went
into design view, and increased the maximum number of allowed
characters for each of my fields of type "text", from 200 to \
1000. Went again clicked on the tab to switch back to data view, I got the
below message. On the basis of the below, I had to discard the
changes I had made, by clicking on "Discard design". You \
wrote below that this problem was fixed a long time ago. Are you sure \
about that? Or if there is another way to do this aside from what I did,
please let me know.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div \
