Attribute Value Character Limit Raise

I frequently run into products that have more data for specs category attribute values that exceed Optimizely's 255 character limit in Configured Commerce. My source system has a limit of 400. I was wondering if it would be possible to raise the limit in OPTI from 255 to 400 ? An example attribute is "Suitable For Use With" which often has long lists of applicable model numbers.

    Thank you for submitting this request! While we do allow configuration of max character limits in the Application Dictionary for some fields; we do have a database nvarchar limit of 255 characters for Attribute field which cannot be easily increased at this time and could cause additional risks.

    Do you frequently have attributes greater than this limit or is this an edge case for the "Suitable For Use With" use case?

    There are current alternatives for this particular use case that could be approached by reaching out to an implementation partner customize it using the extensions table.

    We do encourage facetable attributes to be as small and 'normalized' as possible. If these model numbers/data were normalized in ERP or integration layer it could be brought over as individual attributes. As individual attributes the users on the front end can interact with them with greater flexibility.
