Bind:odk:length

[Ricard_Hoxha1]

Hello everyone. I am planning to use "bind:odk:length" in a xlsform so that i can increase the string limit from 255 to 500 for one survey. Now i have a qeustion: "Does this increase may cause any problem in my database or I don't know what?"
Thank you in advance

Question about string length

You only need to use bind:odk:length if you are using Aggregate and you should not be using Aggregate because it is not being updated. Use Central instead. To answer your question, it's very unlikely the increase will cause any problems with your Aggregate database. But if it does, you are on your own because, again, Aggregate is no longer supported.
