Remove 1000 searchable variables limit when using using the saved search acceleration tools

Refer https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/baw/20.x?topic=portal-tuning-process-searches

The session "Optimize saved searches with business data variables", it mentioned "When using a pivot table, you must ensure that you do not use more than 1000 searchable variables", which is limit the usage of this optimization feature. Previously understand from IBM support, this is related to the maximum number of column per table of database, while can IBM enhance this optimization function to cater this limitation of underlying database?
