Ability to add the Client division as it was feasible on Config Center

When we create a new map, The Division field is limited to 4 characters only. This field should be increased to minimum of 8 characters, so when we create a new map to the existing customer, the division name matches with the old maps.

What is your industry? Retail
How will this idea be used?

This use case would be helpful for all the users who can update the Map division field without requesting Dev Team to make changes from the back-end or raise through github ticket.

    Hi Vikram,

    Thank you for submitting this RFE and clearly explaining the issue. Expanding the Division field length in Config Hub is a valid requirement, especially since Config Center allowed longer values and many existing customer maps already depend on that structure.

    Restoring this flexibility will help ensure consistency across new and existing maps, reduce operational friction, and remove the need for backend intervention. We’ve added this request to our evaluation pipeline and will review the sizing and feasibility with the engineering team. I’ll keep you posted as we move this forward.

    Thanks again for raising this—much appreciated. Do you know any of the customers who requested for the same.

    Best Regards,

    Manoj
