Restriction on Composite Lengths?

Does anyone know if there is a restriction on the length a composite can be - I have a feeling in the dim and distant past there is an eventual termination of the length.

I have a scenario where I have a composite - aggregate - doing a concatenated list across a 2many relationship that is definitely truncating.

If I do a similar “in page” aggregate directly in a table for example or even just in an information widget - using the same relationship and objects - I get the full and complete list as I would have expected.

Feels like I’m going to have to resort to using code now - ideally I wanted to populate a property with a list of relations to make it more efficient for display but I appear not to be able to use a composite as my source property.

2024.1 in case it makes a material difference.

Looks to be terminating suspiciously at 255 characters !!!

I can’t answer the core question (do Aggregate composites output only to 255 character text) but as a workaround to Code
0. Assuming you can start the base object up the M:1 relation

  1. use a Text type composite instead of Aggregate (which lets you set the format to multi-line)
  2. go down the 1:M relation within the Composite, set an aggregate of Concatenated List then pick your field

That ought to give you the same outcome with a non-truncated result?

Scott,

Thats definitely an option yes.

Ive actually switched it up and reverted to using a code studio action to do what I need to - saves the system maintaining yet another composite at least !!!
