10.1 DataPort Engine caps Title (Free Text Part) at 254 even though field definition is 1024 char

Content Manager 10.1.444 DataPort running in WIN2019 w Oracle 19C dbms

The title field limit was expanded to 1024 CHAR in Content Manager, but when I update Title (Free Text Part) exceeding 254 characters the entry is cutoff and the all text beyond 254 character gets written automatically to Notes.  If the field is defined as 1024 in client, why is DataPort treating this like the old limitation?  What is the workaround to ingest up to full 1024 characters into Title (Free Text Part) field as defined?  This is not being transferred by API but just using the standard DataPort admin client and ingesting a tab delimited UTF file w BOM.  

Any suggestions for resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bill

Title (Free Text Part):

"[first 228 character title text]+ ... <FULL TITLE IN NOTES>"

Notes:

"<import_note>
The imported title was longer than allowed.
Full title from import source:

[full 576 characters of title text]

</import_note>"

    Hi Bill,

    Sounds like a possible bug with DataPort

    If you have adjusted the free text titles editable width for the record type to be 1024 and are able to set the correct title in the client manually, but DataPort still overflows at 256 I would say its a bug (most likely due to the free text title having a very long standing limit of only being 256 in prior versions).

    Would recommend you raise this with OT via a ticket as they will be able to tell you if its been raised before / what version it has been fixed in.

    As for possible workarounds, the only thing I can think would be importing via the SDK or API instead of DataPort.
    EDIT: Having DataPort from a 'fixed' version connect back to your current version may also be an option although your mileage may vary. If you are able to share your import schema in the CSV (column headers / data types) and their destination mappings can maybe help with a sample powershell script to import to your current version.

    Had a look on the public bug tracker searching for DataPort and can't see this as a listed known problem
