Question

It seems that StringListProperty can only contain strings up to 500 chars each, just like StringProperty…

Is there a way to store longer strings than that? I don’t need them to be indexed or anything. What I would need would be something like a “TextListProperty”, where each string in the list can be any length and not limited to 500 chars.

Can I create a property like that? Or can you experts suggest a different approach? Perhaps I should use a plain list and pickle/unpickle it in a Blob field, or something like that? I’m a bit new to Python and GAE and I would greatly appreciate some pointers instead of spending days on trial and error…thanks!

You can use a generic ListProperty with an item_type as you require (str, or unicode, or whatever).
