Modifying Attribute Size
I have two questions related to this.
Q1: It says on the web answer https://appwrite.io/threads/1228464082269765633 that redirects to this thread that the solution is "Solution: 1. For flexibility in field size, consider using variable length fields without defining a specific size." However, you can't set strings to be variable length as far as I know? How do you do that?
Q2: Related to Q1, I'm also hitting errors trying to store a string that's bigger than the current attribute size. eg: xxxx.vue:385 AppwriteException: Invalid document structure: Attribute "name" has invalid type. Value must be a valid string and no longer than 20 chars at Client.eval I was assuming this would automatically get truncated but it throws an error instead. Are we supposed to do this checking as part of client side validation/sanitisation before storing? If so, how can you easily retrieve the attribute sizes client side so you don't have to hard code them to keep things synched in case of future changes?
