Does anyone know what the character limit is for Research Notes and Solicitation Notes?
As far as I can make out:
Research notes are stored in the database in 255-character groups. I don’t know what the limit is of how many groups there can be. It’s a smallint data type, meaning that it can go up to 32,767. So unless you want to copy a novel into research notes, you can go pretty large, I’d guess.
Solicitation notes have a limit of 4,765 characters.

Oops, I stand corrected. Research Notes can be only 8,355,585 characters in length. :)
to put that into some context, the average novel has between 2,000 and 3,000 characters per page so you could theoretically copy and paste a 3,000 page novel into research notes
So when someone asks "What are you writing in that note: 'War and Peace'?" you can now reply "Why, yes, actually I am!"
