 The `keyName` also supports dynamic keys for [`Mapping`](https://github.com/lukso-network/LIPs/blob/main/LSPs/LSP-2-ERC725YJSONSchema.md#mapping) and [`MappingWithGrouping`](https://github.com/lukso-network/LIPs/blob/main/LSPs/LSP-2-ERC725YJSONSchema.md#mapping). Therefore, you can use variables in the key name such as `LSP12IssuedAssetsMap:<address>`. In that case, the value should also set the `dynamicKeyParts` property:
 
 - `dynamicKeyParts`: string or string[&nbsp;] which holds the variables that needs to be encoded.
 
+:::info Handling array subsets
+
+The `totalArrayLength` parameter must be explicitly provided to ensure integrity when encoding subsets or modifying existing array elements. Its value specifies the total length of the array **after the operation is completed**, not just the size of the encoded subset.
+
+**When to Use `totalArrayLength`**
+
+- **Adding Elements:** When adding new elements to an array, `totalArrayLength` should equal the sum of the current array's length plus the number of new elements added.
+- **Modifying Elements:** If modifying elements within an existing array without changing the total number of elements, `totalArrayLength` should match the previous length of the array.
+- **Removing Elements:** In cases where elements are removed, `totalArrayLength` should reflect the number of elements left.
+
+:::
+
+:::caution Encoding array lengths
+
+Please be careful when updating existing contract data. Incorrect usage of `startingIndex` and `totalArrayLength` can lead to improperly encoded data that changes the intended structure of the data field.
