Your Environment
Platform [PC desktop, Mac, iOS, Office on the web]: All
Host [Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.]: Outlook
Office version number: All current releases
Operating System: Windows 11, Android 14, iOS 17
Browser (if using Office on the web): Edge, Firefox
Expected behavior
Please allow Office.context.roamingSettings.get to read settings bigger than 32 KB.
The documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/outlook/office.roamingsettings only mentions the 32 KB limit for set, but not for get.
Current behavior
Office.context.roamingSettings.get fails when a setting is bigger than 32 KB. This is possible, when not using Office.context.roamingSettings.set to define a value but EWS or Extended MAPI.
Steps to reproduce
Create and run an app, that creates a new roaming setting using Office.context.roamingSettings.set and Office.context.roamingSettings.saveAsync
Modify the roaming setting defined in step 1 using EWS or Extended MAPI. Update the setting to a value that is bigger than 32 KB.
Use the app created in step 1 to read the roaming setting using Office.context.roamingSettings.get. It will fail because the setting is bigger than 32 KB, although the limit should only apply to set according to documentation.

Context
We use a central on-prem service to put data in mailboxes of our users, which is later used by an Outlook add-in. The Outlook add-in only runs in situations where there is no connectivity to the corporate network, and the data can not be made available over the internet via a secured web service or something comparable.
