Android widget templating from Home Assistant on PC browser

Hi, I currently use widgets on my phone alot to display various things, low battery states, low gecko tank temperatures, front door open, etc etc…

On my phone widget I set

{{ states("sensor.my_template_widget") }}

That sensor resolves to a template helper in HA, meaning I don’t have to keep editing the template on my phone all the time.

I’m now hitting a 255 state max length unfortunately on one of my widgets.

Is there a better way to do this?
Is it possible to get something more native rather than maybe my ‘hacky’ workaround?
Or can we increase the max length of the state?

Thanks!
