Excel form definition export crashes on Controls form #6327

The issue is with a field that is too large. Are we attempting to store the video content into a cell?

Curiously this doesn't seem to happen right now. In addition, the Controls form is not configured to show field on the Summary page, so those fields wouldn't be included in the Excel export.

Closing.

It does crash, with the plain Excel export, not the Summary "Page Excel Export with Search".

For now, just don't output values that are too long, but output a message in the cell saying the value was omitted.

For now we avoid the crash. We could also decide later not output values of controls such as image and video attachments (which show links), or Handwritten Signature (which use data:).
