Is there a way to add more than 5 BLE characteristics per service

[nollstead]

Hello, I'm configuring an STM32WB55CEU6 in STM32CubeIDE and am setting up the BLE part now and I noticed that the IDE only let's me setup 5 characteristics per service.  In my application (a remote control) I need about 15 characteristics.  Is there a way to increase that number?

Hi Nollstead,
With STM32WB, it is not possible to add more than 5 characteristics  per service using STM32CubeMX. The solution would be to add the other characteristic manually without using STM32CubeMX.
This limitation has been improved on STM32WBA, with a maximum of 25 characteristics  per service.

Thank you for your answer, I suspected that was the case and this explains why I saw references to 25 in a few places.  Right now since I'm an STM32 newbie I'd like to stick to STM32CubeIDE so it'd probably work to spread those across three services so I'll try that.

Yes, it would seem to be a good solution to keep your project compatible with the Cube ecosystem.
