Impossible to use more than 16 characters in String

[domenico]

Good evening,
I'm tryng to build a list of valves tag using an DFB ST section scanning an array with a FOR loop, the code use the "CONCAT_STR" to append the carraige return char "$N" and the next valve tag,
I declared a String[256] output in the DFB and connected it to a string of the same lenght, but regardless the dimension, the output variable is cutted to contain only the first 16 chars.
What am I doing wrong?

I tried to use an unused string[256] too, if I try to modify it with the Animation Table the content is cutted in the same manner

Hi,

ECE shows by default max. 16 characters. When you select the button in the Animation table menu bar "extended strings" (second from right) more characters will appear.

Perfect! Thank you so much!
It's a very strange option; is it possible to know the reason about this choice?
