The number of user-defined fields has increased dramatically, and it is at a point where we are close to running out of them.

To prevent this, FPL decided to restrict the automatic registration of new UDF’s on the FPL website. Unfortunately, the error message text that you are seeing makes this look like a technical error when it was really a policy decision.

The GTC Governance Board will be working on a new set of policies around registration and maintenance of UDF’s, which will be presented to the GTC for approval.
