Character Limitations in custom fields?

We are wanting to create a custom field in marketo to contain a promotion code a contact has redeemed. Is anyone aware of any character limitations in custom fields?

You should be fine.  You shouldn't come anywhere close to reaching the character limit.

Most fields don’t max out at number of characters, but instead at amount of bytes. Because of that, we’re unable to provide a definitive character limit for each field. The two exceptions however are Text Area (3200 characters) and String (255 characters).

Please move the thread to Products and someone will answer it there. "Community" is for website feedback, not product support -- and yes, this is confusing!
