How to remove restrictions on the number of characters in Bitrix tags?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Good afternoon
I found out for myself that there are restrictions on the number of characters entered. Tell me how to take it off?

Answer 1

Restriction at the mysql database level, in the b_iblock_elements table, the TAGS field has the varchar(255) type.
You can change the length by querying the database, for example, increase it to 500

ALTER TABLE b_iblock_elements ALTER COLUMN TAGS VARCHAR (500) DEFAULT NULL;

But it is difficult to predict the consequences, perhaps there are still limitations in the Bitrix code.
I advise you not to experiment on a working project, first make a backup.
