Limit size of field: Contents to ensure system performs and responds timely

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Near all ERM artifact attribute fields have size limits. However, the Contents field (rich text field) does not have a size limit. It should have a maximum size to ensure System integrity, response, usability, and performance. While user behavior is desired, it cannot be assured and thus the system must protect itself from erroneous import operations which overload system. There is no system protection against such events. System is wide open and allows anything, which then enables overpopulation with erroneous behavior. Any system of merit must have safeguards in place to protect against erroneous behavior. Especially a system that claims to support ISO 26262 which then requires safeguards against faulty conditions such as field overload. Today such faults are open to occur and system crash results.
