Currently there is a limitation that prevents support of VarChar data type within the Databricks connector (possibly other connectors as well). This limitation is resulting in the inability to map data from Databricks to Gainsight. My company depends on this data type and we would like to see an improvement, to allow for this data type, added to the road map.

    Hi @Andy Trevino Thank you for your feedback. The VarChar data type is not mentioned as a supported data type in the Databricks documentation, which is why you dont see this in Gainsight. However, we are actively working with Databricks on this and  can expect this to be available in Connectors and Rules soon.

    It would be highly beneficial to have character length limitation support incorporated into the Databricks connector. Currently, due to the absence of this functionality, our team is required to convert VarChar fields into string format as a workaround. Enabling this capability would not only streamline our processes but also enhance usability for other users facing similar constraints.
