The input text variable size is limited to 256 characters because it is defined as a "Short text" input type, which is designed for brief user input ^[1]. If you want to allow more than 256 characters, you can use the "Paragraph" input type, which allows for longer content without a specified character limit ^[1].

If you need to change the character limit for the "Short text" input type in a self-hosted setup, you can modify the MAX_VARIABLE_SIZE environment variable in the docker-compose.yaml file. The default value is set to 204800, which is larger than 256 characters. You can increase this value to suit your needs:

MAX_VARIABLE_SIZE: ${MAX_VARIABLE_SIZE:-204800}

Update the value of MAX_VARIABLE_SIZE to your desired limit ^[2].
