How are you running Flagsmith Self Hosted with Docker Self Hosted with Kubernetes SaaS at flagsmith.com Some other way (add details in description below) Describe the bug The public SDK OpenAPI spec (sdk/openapi.yaml) advertises trait_value as an unconstrained string, but the API still rejects string trait values longer than 2000 characters. The limit is enforced at runtime in api/environments/identities/traits/fields.py:27 via TRAIT_STRING_VALUE_MAX_LENGTH = 2000: Value string is too long. Must be less than 2000 character The spec previously documented it. trait_value.anyOf included {type: string, maxLength: 2000} — but the constraint was dropped in #6653 (flag-engine v10 upgrade, re-applied in #6741). The trait schema now derives from flag_engine.segments.types.ContextValue (None | int | float | bool | str), which carries no length constraint, so manage.py spectacular emits a plain string.

We're regularly seeing IntegrityError logs (example below) pop up, often because of poorly orchestrated scripts or racing frontend code. We should come up with a unified approach to these. The expectation is that the backend should handle the conflicts opaquely, or clearly indicate to the client why the request couldn't go through. Options are: a) Consider wrapping mutating operations in transactions — unlikely outcome as we don't want to increase lock contention. b) Return 409 Conflict — a bit tricky as it'd take some heuristics to accurately detect race-related IntegrityErrors.
