Why should the string type be fixed-length instead of auto-enrichment

Why does the avatar field type string need to be fixed, rather than mutable, I updated the user avatar in the background, and the length sang over the fixed length here, so I couldn't add it

TL;DR

The user is asking why the string type for the avatar field needs to be fixed-length instead of mutable. They mention being a front-end developer and not understanding back-end deployment. The support team explains that the current version of the cloud is 1.1.2 and upgrading to a later version is not possible on the cloud. They suggest self-hosting as an alternative. Another user asks how to switch to a better version and the support team explains that attributes can be updated in versions after 1.3.0 and that the current version has a fixed length for strings. The user is not able to add the avatar because it exceeds

Hi there

If I understand correctly, you are talking about why is string attribute not mutable/can be updated after creation. I might be wrong but :

You can update/edit attributes in versions after 1.3.0
Mutable length : yes, we have fixed length as of now

@joeyoussHow to switch to a better version, I use your cloud background instead of my own doctor

https://cloud.appwrite.io/console This version is 1.1.2 How to upgrade to a later version

currently cloud is on 1.1.2 so it isnt possible to use a better version on cloud. You can use a self hosted version if you want https://appwrite.io/docs/self-hosting

Why can't cloud update the latest version, I'm a front-end developer, I don't understand doctor and back-end deployment at all, I hope cloud can think of Firebase, Amplify, like that, can have a hosting platform, let us use it better @joeyouss
