Increase tags and triggers title length #816

Open ronan-hello opened 4 days ago

Hi,

Actually, the tags and triggers title field is limited to only 50 characters. Can you increase this limit to 255 characters ? It would be a great improvement and allow users to follow naming guideline such as :

Matomo - Event - my_custom_event_name_even_if_the_name_is_long

We actually can't name a tag with a long name, and it'll force users to change the naming convention or change event name to shorts (which can cause confusion).

Hi @ronan-hello . Thank you for taking the time to create this issue. You make a good point. Even increasing the allowed length to 100 characters would allow more unique names. We'd need to confirm that increasing the length of the name wouldn't have any negative side-effects. It would complicate displaying the full name in the UI. We hash tag names in the container JavaScript, so we wouldn't be increasing the size of that file.

@Stan-vw This might be a good enhancement to look at as part of our current focus.

Thanks, that seems like a great little improvement! We'll schedule some time to check if it breaks anything, otherwise we can likely fix this shortly

Hello everyone,

OK, I understand the situation about hashing the title and display. Glad to see this can be fixed soon !
