Bug for createParametricData API ??

[former_member323997]

Hello,

We are trying to save the parametric data via the API createParametricData. and we found the <dat:description> tag has maximum length 40. Because if we set more than 40 it will come back the error like Description is too long (78 > 40). I am asking because when I checked the table parametric_measure the column DESCRIPTION does have the maximum length 80 - "DESCRIPTION" NVARCHAR2(80).

So please clarify whether this is a bug for the API, or it is designed as it is.

I copy my test PAPI request here for your reference:
