Can we get an update on the ETA for having the ability to update attributes? Not being able to change the size of a string attribute as an example is essential for production.

I found two discussions regarding this issue going back TWO YEARS https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/discussions/2720#discussioncomment-2089980 https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/discussions/2720

Both were closed because there was improvements to attributes... but to this day you cannot change the size of a string attribute. This seems like such a basic feature and I don't know if I can risk not having it going into production. Having to delete and recreate the attribute essentially wipes it out of every single document that exists.

My project is only going to have a roughly 10,000 dau, but the number of documents generated will be massive and having to delete and add an attribute will be catastrophic. I feel like taking the time to move everything over to firebase now will save me a lot of pain during production.

TL;DR
Title: Request for ETA on Updating Attributes Message: Developers are requesting an update on the ETA for the ability to update attributes. Currently, they are unable to change the size of a string attribute, which is crucial for production. Despite previous discussions on this issue, the problem persists. Not being able to modify attributes without deleting and recreating them is a major concern, as it would affect all existing documents. The project is expected to have around 10,000 daily active users, generating a significant number of documents. Developers are considering migrating to Firebase to avoid potential production issues.
