Hi @kd1-1 ,

1) You can define length="<value>" in attribute definition in schema

Example, <attribute name="firstName" length="300" type="string"/>

Yes, you can define length in data loading activity > click here to change the file format

2) You can able to use predefined filters of same targeting dimension only.

3) Refer here to know more about delivery variables

4) To process the uploading file, we need to define the data loading activity by uploading a sample file of same format as original file, and configure all the values - Say is the file is csv or txt file, how the columns are separated, what is the data type of all columns, etc.

Yes, but make sure to update the database structure after modifying length value in schema.
