Hello,

when I write a deviceInfo message using the java EncodeExample I can save Strings in the descriptor property of the deviceInfo message.
However if I try doing the same with my self compiled c FIT SDK (where I added some custom messages) I can only write one character into the DeviceInfo message.

Does anyone know if I can redefine the length of the descriptor in the c source code so that I can also save longer Strings in there?

Thanks for your help.      

You need to set the max length of the string that you want to support in the config.csv file.

When enabling a field you usually set the value to 1, but for strings/arrays you need to set the value to the size of the array that you are using.

So in config.csv:
should be:
If you want to support a 10 character descriptor.
