Attribute - TEXT field Limitation

[Former Member]

Dear MDM specialists,

What is the maximum length of text that can be accomodated in an "Attribute".

Is there any way of importing text from a file.

Thanks.

The maximum length for a text attribute value is 128 characters.

When importing into your main table (Data Manager import), the import process will prompt you when it finds text attribute values that are not present in your taxonomy (skip, add, etc.)

It looks like importing attributes into a taxonomy is not (completely) possible with the Data Manager's import. Use the Import Manager instead.

Hi Hari,

of course you can import text from a file directly into the attribute. e.g. just with the normal data load. Just map the source field to the target attribute and the value will be added.

Hi Nicolas,

I meant import from a file not from the Import process (Import manager) but from the data manager.

What is the text length limit.

Thanks.

Hi Hari,

The text field length limit depends on what is specified in console. But the max you can configure for a text field in console is 1000.

If you need more than 1000 character use Text Large.

Hope this ansowers your question.

Regards,
