REPRODUCE STEP

2. Export a project with the newly added UDF as XLSX.
3. Modify the XLSX in excel and input the UDF field with more than 255
characters and also include "line return".
4. Import the XLSX back to the original project. Then it would only retain 255 characters but remain the "line return".
5. Export the project as XER.
6. Import the XER to the same database and see the following error.
