I was under the impression that naturally existing data in an attribute will be lost if you change the attribute type or make it smaller.
Should it not be the case that if you increase the size of the attribute while not changing the type that the data should be retained ?
I changed the size of an attribute from 500 - 2000. While I did get the warning of data loss, I was in test and proceeded. All data in that attribute was lost.
If this is the case it coudl have significant impact on distributing BS's where a request has come in to increase a field length.
