i'm having an issue with dl/import-cloud when importing a database to dev-local . i can see in the exception (excluded for brevity) that the datom value is a very lengthy string

ImportingExecution error (ExceptionInfo) at datomic.dev-local.tx/sized-fressian-bbuf (tx.clj:103).
Item too large

Thanks for the report! The documented limit for strings in Cloud is 4096, as you describe. The dev-local importer enforces this limit. We understand that this is a problem and are considering options.

so it seems that strings are limited to 4096 characters, but Datomic Cloud allows for longer strings? https://forum.datomic.com/t/4096-character-string-limit/1579
