&lt;p&gt;yes, I am using constant, but then in dropdown I cannot select more than 500 characters&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Desicion rule limitation output</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/152626?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Dec 2025 15:07:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:4796cff3-85fd-4702-bc4f-2066c6ea7bb5</guid><dc:creator>Mike Schmitt</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Have you tried editing the outputs &amp;quot;as expression&amp;quot;?&amp;nbsp; I haven&amp;#39;t tried this for character limit issues, but I&amp;#39;m guessing you could call either an external expression rule or constants to define the output text, neither of which have such a character limit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
