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 \
