It appears the server-side character limit for the Description field of an Inventory item when you Customize is 1700 in the database. However, in the UI the input box for this field does not have a character limit and allows you to type or paste more than 1700 characters. Once you have exceeded 1700 and navigate away (such as back to the Name or Notes field) to force a save, it crashes and throws an error code. This happens 100% of the time and can be reproduced by pasting a large block of text into the description field then selecting a different input box. Here are a few separate error codes from moments ago while I was figuring out the exact character limit:
The Feature Request here would be to increase the server-side limit for this field in the database so we can have more lengthier customized item descriptions, but whether or not this is possible the Bug Fix needs to be that the input text box for the Description field needs to halt character input at 1700 (or more if you increase it) and any attempt to paste more than the limit results in truncation at the character limit to prevent any crash from occurring in the first place.
Thanks for reading.
