XML Schema for LEI names allow only 100 characters
    For some stakeholders whose legal name need to be entered into the XML schema, we observe that the schema allows only 100 characters, whereas the actual legal name in the GLEIF database is more than 100 characters long. How should reporting entities populate the legal names in the xml templates in this case, in order to pass the schema check?

    We request you to not publish the below example in the public Q&A response:
    Example
    LEI: 635400X8LJOEVGKVCU62
    Name: UNION DE CREDITOS INMOBILIARIOS, S.A., ESTABLECIMIENTO FINANCIERO DE CREDITO (SOCIEDAD UNIPERSONAL) - SUCURSAL EM PORTUGAL
