Is there a way to increase the character limits of the 'Steps' and 'Expected Result' fields

Does anyone know the character limits for these two fields 'Steps' and 'Expected Result'? Is there a way to increase the character limits of the 'Steps' and 'Expected Result' fields in the Test Library for a test? Does the imported tokens spreadsheet have any limitations.  My problem is this:  I am entering complex sql queries as toke values for my test. Using the Test Data will not work because many of the steps will contain queries to execute or validate steps.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

    The current maximum allowed length for the Step and Expected Results fields is 4000 characters. Please note that if you have the rich text editor enabled for these fields, the symbols of the HTML markup are counted, as well, so I recommend that you disable it (http://screencast.com/t/UASoKPLy).
