"Unable to save changes. [app name] has a character limit for settings"

Hi There,

On my app, when trying to update the settings through Garmin Express I get an error: "Unable to save changes. [app name] has a character limit for settings".

I'm on Win10, Garmin Express version 7.3.0.0. Users of my app are also reporting this issue.

However when using Garmin Connect/Connect IQ on a mobile to update the settings, it works fine.

I've been through my settings.xml and stripped out any attributes on individual settings, e.g. required, min, max, maxLength, but the problem persists.

I've then made a copy of my app, but with only a handful of the original settings, and it works, so it suggests an issue with the overall size of the settings when using Garmin Express.

Does anyone know if there is a limit, and it so what it is?

Are we able to request that the limit is removed/matched to Connect/Connect IQ as it causing frustration and confusion for users?

Thanks,

Stu

For a single setting, it's something like 512 bytes if I recall but may be 256. In total, not sure. How many settings and size are you trying to use?

can you post your settings/properties file?
