Microsoft Store App ingestion inconsistencies: API, CSV, or web form

Hi, we have found inconsistencies in allowed field sizes when we upload apps through the app ingestion API versus CSV language ingestion versus web form.

A specific example, the web form 'short description' field allows 1000 characters. But when uploading through the API we get the error ...

System.Exception: {"code":"InvalidParameterValue","data":[],"details":[],"message":"The length of ShortDescription must be 500 or less","source":"Ingestion Api","target":"shortDescription"}

at ConsoleAppDemo.IngestionClient.Invoke[T] in ...

We have seen other inconsistencies appear and disappear. Would the Microsoft Store team establish some consistency-checking between these three ways of defining strings associated with a Store app please?

This would really help us smoothly upload apps translated into many languages.

Thanks,

Richard Freytag
