I have a survey that has been running for months, and for part of it, it is constantly appending data to an embedded variable, which gets quite long sometimes (~100k characters). This has not been a problem until midday on March 11, when suddenly Qualtrics started truncating the embedded variable on subsequent responses (at least a dozen now). To reproduce this, create a survey with two embedded variables (say, test1 and test2), and set their values to long strings programmatically:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedVar("test1","t".repeat(50000));Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedVar("test2","t".repeat(100000));For me, the var "test2" is recorded as 70,000 "t" plus an ellipsis "...".Is this an intended change? Or is this something to do with my account hitting a hidden data storage size limit or something?

Hi there! We have updatedthis support pageto reflect the new size limitation. In response to issues surrounding exports and data processing, we released this update limiting embedded data to 15 KB when the data is recorded. Each kilobyte equates to approximately 1,000 standard (not special) characters. Any values exceeding this limit will be truncated. Our Engineering team is looking into the possibility of allowing these larger values to be exported as files. In the meantime, on a case-by-case basis, some brands may increase this limit by contactingQualtrics Support.

Hi@ahmedA! We conveyed your point to our team internally and they adjusted the Embedded Data character limit to 20KB. We've also gone ahead and updatedthis support pagewith the new limit.
