Limitation of the default Field size of all fields

Currently the field lengths are defaulted to 255 and even when we are using the defaultCharacterMaxLength property to default the field to some other value, copybooks generated aren't picking them.
I think if we can have this field length derived from Swagger.json that would be great.

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.13 / APAR PH02414:

    It has always been the case that API requester will generate COBOL field lengths according to the maxLength of the field in the schema from Swagger.json. However, there was an internal defect, which was addressed in V3.0.13, where the defaultCharacterMax was not being honoured in some cases. This would be the fix to the problem that seems to be the original cause of this request.
