There seems to be a 256 character limit when using the Enum Attribute Type when customizing the Register user form. Has anyone else run into this? Can this be extended with a config file?

Currently there is no configuration to control this. Is there a single enum value taking this big a size?

It is a comma separated list that is over 256 characters. The list will show a drop down of only 20 items to choose.

Hello,

We had the same problem with character limit of 255 being too small for some attributes. One of the requested character limit increases was for Enum "Values" -attribute in Dynamic Attributes. Saviynt was able to increase the limit.

The Saviynt support team can increase the character limit by going to IDM database and changing the data type to "long text" and increasing the limit. Below is a quote from freshdesk document concerning the Description character limit:

Note: By default SSM supports only 255 characters in the Description field.

In case you want more than 255 characters in this field, change the description dataType to longText in the database table.

Another way of addressing this is by using the "Single select" attribute type instead and store all the enum values in a db table.
