Artificial limit on bonus leadins? #387

Open mweiner1 opened 1 year ago

mweiner1 commented 1 year ago

I just discovered that the bonus form will not accept a leadin of more than 500 characters. I guess this is a check on people accidentally pasting a tossup or garbage in there, since obviously no bonus leadin should ever be that long. However, I was trying to include a bracketed "note to moderator" about the question, which put it over the limit. While I can certainly live without that on this particular set, it would be better for decisions on part length to be set by editors and not hard-coded in the system.

A temporary workaround I think is to use the type questions interface for bonuses.
