Hi guys,

We want to implement versioning for some binary fields (where we store like docx, pdf and files like that) and consider using entity history for this purpose. I saw that it is limited to 512 characters though, do you see any problems when we increase this limit dramatically to something like 20 to 50 megabyte? We'll probably have to store it as base64, too, as the entity history has character fields? We're using Postgres as database.

Thank you for your comments on this!

    Hi @ips-ad

    The only concern will the performance I think. If that is not going to be a problem, you can increase the size of the field.
