Equipment Parameter Field Character Limit

Hi Chris,

We do indeed have plans to address this limitation, just a matter of prioritisation unfortunately.

However, we won't be just looking at expanding... oh no... we plan to do better than that.

In 2018 we introduced the Equipment Runtime Parameters, which have a row per parameter allowing each parameter to have a 254 char name and a 254 char value.

Our intention is to merge this and the "equipment parameter" field concepts together, allowing a significant increase in the number of parameters, value size and certainly a better editing experience. It also means your traditional "config" parameters will be accessible at Runtime as well.

Cheers,
bradley
