Unable to upload a template (macro name/description are not too long)

[Abalsam]

I just tried to upload a revised template as a new record and the system stopped me telling me either the macro name or description is too long. I checked both with Word count and both are under the stated maximum (200 char for name and 2,000 char for description) as the name is under 20 and the description is 1,132 characters long.

Please advise. Thanks

I did a bit more testing and was able to post the macro template with a 972 character description. This implies to me that the max description character limit is actually 1,000 characters instead of the 2,000 the system lists.

maybe limit is 2000 bytes ? (think about utf-8 encoding)

I suggest you to write the detailed description as a comment of an empty inside the macro at this moment.
I noticed it's not so bad idea to do it as a comment of a meaningless AND() or OR() in the Constraints light green field, in Triggers field before though.

I will look into that thank you.

I am thinking best place to put them is on an empty trigger....

Exactly, but Constraints field doesn't have an empty unfortunately. In Triggers or Actions, an empty is available as you know
In my opinion, people want to try first, then check info if they need. Longer documentation makes less interest sometimes

Sometimes but it also means they won't be cursing me either . Also the main point I was trying to make in this thread was that if the template site's constraints are more restrictive than advertised, then the alert should be revised to reflect the actual limits.

Thanks

Thanks for flagging this limit. I shall look into what exactly is the correct amount and update accordingly.
