Good day, I would like to add my company, which operates in the financial services industry, to the list of customers impacted by this constraint. We have been using Workload Application Templates for several years now, including version 9.4.0.6, and we never saw this issue until we upgraded to version 10.1.0.4. Unfortunately, we do not have a 9.4 environment any longer to perform testing in to prove this out, but we have other jobs and schedules with comments that are greater than 1000 bytes and we do not allow direct database edits.
Please consider prioritizing this RFE.
Michael White
Thank you for taking this into consideration.
Just to be clear, we never update the comments via direct database updates. We only every use the GUI or composer. I can see that the "V9.x Manage Workload Definitions" option in the DWC still allows us to add more than 1000 characters. Also, prior to updating to v10.1, we could add more than 1000 characters. It was not until we were on v10.1 where we noticed this. Specifically, I opened a stream to edit it and when I tried to add comments, that was the first time I was met with not being able to type any more characters.
The limitation has always existed, the point is that you have been bypassing the controls working directly on the database that should be never done. Anyway, we accept the idea just to remove the overall limit.
