Am I reading that right? That in 8.1.2, they've shortened the field length of field ID 1 down to 8 characters? Is that across the board or just in some cases? That seems like a big change. I didn't see anything in the release notes on the docs website. We are on 8.1.0, and were contemplating 8.1.2 so wanted to make sure there weren't any surprises.
