Hi Marc and Aris, Thank Aris for helping me on this and it was very useful for me. I went through the commit and found it has replaces some code segments in tbl_properties.inc.php file and also introduced some new lines to file. Out of those newly introduce lines we get " $type = $extracted_fieldspec['print_type'];" in line number 301 which overrides the $type variable value from "*varchar*" to "*varchar(45)*". I have commented that line and tested the feature and it worked correctly for loading the "VARCHAR" type in change table. But I cannot understand why it uses "*$type = $extracted_fieldspec['print_type']*" instead of "$type = $extracted_fieldspec['type'];". Thank you.
