Microsoft Graph API truncates personal notes (Outlook contacts)

Question

I am programming an appplication that synchronizes Contacts with another application. To fetch the contacts from the API, I call me/contacts?select=*. It returns a list with all contacts but the field personalNotes is limited to 256 characters. However I can save more characters without any problems using POST and PATCH requests... Is there a possibility to unlimit this field?

I tried both versions (v1.0 and beta) and didn't find anything useful at google and in the official documentation

Answer 1

We return the first 256 characters of the Notes for performance reasons, if you want to see the full content of the Notes, then you can do a GET on the individual Contacts. Thanks for your feedback, we will look to see if there's a better way for our API to behave.
