Thanks, guys! I am glad to hear that the technical hurdles for implementation seem to be relatively low. Is there any realistic timeline by when this could be done?
I agree with Lydia, that not all string properties should allow for unlimited (or even very many) chars. It would be nice to determine at property proposal how many chars a certain property should have. Alternatively, implementing a new data type would also work for us.
