Hello, may I know why the addressline1 & line2 clipped when value larger than 70 characters? can we increase to 80, 90? Thanks
if (addressOut.getType() == Address.Type.COMBINED_ELEMENTS) { addressOut.setAddressLine1(clippedValue(addressOut.getAddressLine1(), 70, fieldRoot, ValidationConstants.SUBFIELD_ADDRESS_LINE_1)); addressOut.setAddressLine2(clippedValue(addressOut.getAddressLine2(), 70, fieldRoot, ValidationConstants.SUBFIELD_ADDRESS_LINE_2)); }

The maximum length is mandated by the standard. If the address lines are longer than 70 characters, banks will not accept the payment. Most likely, the length for the QR bill standard was derived from the SIC payment specification. So even if a bank would accept it, they couldn't make a payment to another bank.
