In an Enterprise database what is the easiest way to change the field length for the editor tracking fields.  It was initially set at 25 which is way to short to store SSO username.  I want to change it to 255 but am unsure of the best, most efficent way of going about this.  

Cheers,

Heath

@HeathAnderson - in ArcGIS Pro, disable editor tracking, add a new filed with the new size, update the new field with the values of the old field, delete the old field, re-enable editor tracking.
