TextPicker (String) length limited to 31 characters?

I need to edit a Rest-URL in my app.

But obviously the string length in TextPicker is limited to 31 characters.

1. is it possible to enable longer strings (cause 31 is to short for REST Urls)
2. is this limitation documented somewhere? (could not find it)

We'll take a look and see what can be done about the limitation and make sure the documentation gets updated. Thanks for the report.

You can avoid this by writing your own Ui.Picker.

Is this something you could enter using app-settings from GCM or GE, and not on the watch?

yes the better solution is to use app settings

yes, I finally used app setting. That makes way more sense as entering a URL via the watch itself is definately not very comfortable.

Has this ever been revisited? With the new remote entry from the Connect mobile app (e.g. on my fenix 8), longer strings should not be a UX problem anymore? I'd love to have 32 characters for this widget apps.garmin.com/.../c601e351-9fa8-4303-aead-441251559064
