Character Limits for Required Fields in API Requests

Troubleshooting: Index Size Limit Exceeded Error

Symptoms

• Receiving an error message indicating index row size exceeds btree version 4 maximum 2704

• Unable to upload or update records via API when required fields contain large amounts of text

Possible Causes

• Required fields containing text that exceeds 2704 characters

• Large data entries in fields marked as required in the schema

Solutions

Solution 1: Remove Required Constraint

Remove the Required constraint from fields that may contain large amounts of text. Implement a recordHook to handle the validation logic instead.

Solution 2: Limit Text Length

For Required fields, ensure the text content does not exceed 2704 characters. Implement validation in your application to truncate or reject content that exceeds this limit before sending to the API.

Solution 3: Manual Entry Workaround

If you need to include text that exceeds the character limit:

• Submit the record without the large text field content

• Update the field manually through the application interface after the initial upload
