Inconsistent payment_method field length in grid tables

[mikael-jacobson-resurs]

Preconditions and environment

On Magento 2.4.6 it appears that the column payment_method has inconsistent lengths in the different grid tables which results in the payment method not showing in the grid views in admin.

Table	Length
sales_order_grid	255
sales_invoice_grid	128
sales_creditmemo_grid	32
sales_shipment_grid	32

Steps to reproduce

1. Create or modify a payment method so that its code is longer than 32 characters.
2. Place an order using that payment method
3. Create an order shipment
4. Show the Payment Method column in the shipment grid view

Expected result

The payment method name is displayed in the Payment Method column in the grid view.

Actual result

The Payment Method name column is blank.

Hi @mjresurs,

Thank you for reporting and collaboration.

Verified the issue on Magento 2.4-develop instance and the issue is not reproducible.Kindly refer the screenshots.

Steps to reproduce

• Create or modify a payment method so that its code is longer than 32 characters.
• Place an order using that payment method
• Create an order shipment
• Show the Payment Method column in the shipment grid view

The payment method name is displayed in the Payment Method column in the grid view after shipment.

Kindly recheck the behaviour on Magento 2.4-develop instance and elaborate steps to reproduce if the issue is still reproducible.

Thanks.

@engcom-Bravo I'm not sure if there was some miscommunication here but it appears your screenshot shows payment methods with long names rather than a long code. The issue I've noticed on 2.4.6 is that you can have a payment method with a code like, as an example, custom_module_payment_method_code_that_is_quite_long (52 characters).

Now what happens when you create a credit memo or shipment is that Magento will store this as the truncated 32 character string custom_module_payment_method_cod in since that's the max length of the column payment_method is in both sales_creditmemo_grid and sales_shipment_grid.

So when you then try to view the credit memo or shipment grids it will fail to fetch the payment method information because there is no payment method with the code custom_module_payment_method_cod.

E.g. for the table sales_shipment_grid in /app/code/Magento/Sales/etc/db_schema.xml#L786:

<column xsi:type="varchar" name="payment_method" nullable="true" length="32" comment="Payment Method"/>
