hi, I'm using a formula to return a result in a cell and i'm getting the error: "Cell data size exceeds limit (8kb)" - is there any way to change that?

    The cell size limit in Clay is fixed at 8000 characters (8kb) per cell. Unfortunately, this limit cannot be changed. If you're working with data that exceeds this limit, you may need to consider breaking down your formula into smaller components or storing the data across multiple cells.

    The best way to handle your list of 50 items is to use our Write to Table feature. Here's how you can do it:1. Create a new destination table in your workbook 2. Use the Write to Table action to map your list 3. Select the column containing your list of items 4. Choose how you want the items mapped to columns in your new tableThis approach will automatically break down your list and create individual rows for each item, making it much easier to manage and work with your data.If needed, you can also normalize and deduplicate your list during this process to ensure data quality and remove any duplicate entries.
