Increase string length for global attribute to 5000 characters.

Hello,
Is it possible to increase string length of global attributes to 5000 characters. windchill provides 2000 max character limit as OOTB.
client want to increase that string length to max 5000 characters. is it possible?
Is it possible by little configuration or need more customization? if need what type of configuration, please provide?

Hi @AS_11081239 

Yes, to the limit 2k. 

If your customer needs to store some longer text, then use different way. For example text file. 

 

The attributes are not designed for a novel book

Hi @AS_11081239 

Too complicated. 

I can imagine to develop custom function to edit and show the attribute that the content of the attribute is stored to two separated columns in database or to a blobs.

But you have to also develop a function to save the values to that filed in the database.

HI @HelesicPetr ,
hope you are doing well,
How about reusable attribute string length? can we increase the string length?

Windchill doesn’t work that way. Reusable Attributes do NOT have “value” length limits.

Why you ask, because reusable attribute do not hold the value.

They just don’t. The “value” is held elsewhere. 😁

 

Again, that’s just not how Windchill and Reusable Attributes work.
