I have created one text attribute using the AttributeCreator transformer and by default, its length is 50, there is no option to change this length in FME. This attribute is created for the feature class to save filename which is over 50 characters.

You can specify this in the writer feature type, as that's the place where this gets applied. Within FME itself there is no limit on attribute length.

@Hans van der Maarel​ is correct. Attributes in FME are not limited in length.

There are limitations on the writers.

Here is a picture explanation of where to look:
