Field: Notes length #124

This is not necessarily an "issue" per se, but I work with some databases that have Notes in excess of 500 characters; the Notes field created in the GeMS Create Database tool appears to be 254 characters long. Would it be possible to increase this size?

This can be manually changed by the author quickly (takes me 30 seconds) but perhaps would be easier for people not as familiar with ArcPro to increase the length of the Notes field to 500 or 1000.

We have our Notes field set to 99,999. We don't use the GeMS Create Database tool, we have our own GeMS XML files we use as templates, so we don't have to set this every time. We don't ever use that much, but we kept running into limits as well, so we made it ridiculously high.

The longest "Notes" entry in all of the 2000+ submissions so far is 4930:

(it took 39 minutes to chug through all entries!)

I could set the default length to 5000 and that would cover vast majority of future cases.
