1. Access Manage Business Configuration.
2. Change the Max Length of a field.
   
   
   
   
3. Perform a Basic Import by adding more than 7 characters and the Basic Import is successful with acceptance of more than 7 characters.

• This is an expected behavior at the moment.
• Basic Import follows the character limit as mentioned in the KBA: 2267907 - Employee Import/Export file: supported standard-elements fields - SAP for Me
  
  
  
  
• The Max Length set from Manage Business Configuration will be respected inside the instance when a user is creating a new user or updating an existing user directly in the instance.
• The Basic Import option will perform an Insert Query in the Database and that is the reason Basic Import fails to respect the Max Length set under the Manage Business Configuration for the Employee Profile Fields.
• We tested and found the API /odata/v2/upsert support max-length. You can update those users via this API or create an integration job in Integration Center. The integration job will use /odata/v2/upsert to update the user.
• If you're looking for basic import job support for max-length property, then there is a scope of enhancement for the same and the enhancement request can be raised as per the KBA: 2090228 - How to submit enhancement ideas for SAP SuccessFactors Products - SAP for Me
