Any chance of modifying the 5 MB limit on responses?

Thanks Robert Shankin we opened a case, and I can confirm that Appian will not change this setting at the moment, even for custom requests.
The only option remains to have the web service owners implement the paging logic.
If that is not possible, I think one could implement a proxy service to perform the paging, as a last resort.

You can open a case with Appian support to inquire about adjusting the limit.
However, given the way the functionality is documented, I don't expect that there are any adjustment options for this limit at this time.

Thank you for your response, unfortunately this is not an option in our case.
I'm only interested in overriding the limit, even if a custom request has to be opened.

I got around the limitation by downloading the json payload into a document and then reading the file.

fn!readTextFromFile requires the Text File Reader plugin: https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/text-file-reader

a!fromJson(
fn!readtextfromfile(
txtFile: todocument(7393),
preserveLineBreaks: true
)
)
