 Any suggestion to create a note field as an attribute to allow users to drop some generic comment. I was thinking adding a VarChar of 1000 Charater, but it seem we are not able to use carriage return to create line.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Create a note field as attribute</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/673657?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Sep 2021 13:39:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:82f1b944-0d33-42d1-b8a7-c11b2c450852</guid><dc:creator>Kevin van Haaren</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;1000 is what I typically give them. 500 if there are a lot of other long attributes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;can&amp;#39;t remember if Bentley worked around it but SQL Server has a limit of 8000 bytes&amp;nbsp;per row, and a row for environments is all the attribute lengths added together. But notice I said &amp;quot;bytes&amp;quot; and not &amp;quot;characters&amp;quot;. Varchar type is unicode encoding, in unicode a character can be 1-4 (or more? can&amp;#39;t remember now) so 1000 characters can be 4000 bytes, or 1/2 the space. I think the smiley face emoji I put in that example is a 4 byte encoding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If your users mostly use the English alphabet, most characters are 1 byte.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Create a note field as attribute</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/673655?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Sep 2021 13:24:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:332c6224-3400-4a54-99b1-3bb78a61b94e</guid><dc:creator>Luc Poulin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you Kevin&lt;/p&gt;
