What is the character limit for the Project Description field for a Jira Project?

We want to limit the project description - is there anyway to do so?

Also - when we add a gadget to a dashboard

hi @Jason Michaud ,

you can check this limit at database level. I just checked on MySql (table : project , column : DESCRIPTION) and it is defined as text so the max lenght is 65535 characters.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
