We are planning to use user field for storing the text which is bigger then 2,048.
Is there any chance to have it configurable as proposed here -

The said user configurable limits would probably be between 1 - 2048 and not more. The user-field inputs doesn’t provide good UX to input larger texts anyway.
When using larger inputs you can store in a custom\_field and use the `d-editor` to let users input largers texts.

thanks you, the question is exactly on custom user fields. We want to store some content programmatically is one custom user field per user. the current limit is 2048, thats exactly that we want to overcome for that field (if possible). Please advice. thanks

You can use the [PluginStore](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/5dbd6a304bed5400be481d71061d3e3ebb4d6785/app/models/plugin_store.rb) for those fields.
