Max length for Tagged Values
« on: September 15, 2009, 11:39:20 pm »
we are using a tagged value holding a comma seperated list of attribute names as strings to logically reference a set of attributes from one entity to another. therefore we may have a tagged value holding a string up to a length of several 100 characters. EA seems to cut them away when reaching about 230 characters.

is there a max length for tagged values or is this another kind of bug?

The field size is 255, or thereabouts. If you want larger, type <Memo> in the value field and you will see a "..." button appear in the right-hand corner of the field: click this and get a field size of 65,535, or thereabouts.

We will give it a try. Hope this will be visibile in our Generator Task in oAW.

Thank you
