How do I change the character limit for the description? It's currently limited at 21844 chars.

Hi there,

I'm in the process of setting up my e-commerece store, many of the products have extended long descriptions which I need to fit but I'm being limited by the default size from installation.

I'm pretty good when it comes to code so if there's a specific php file I need to modify that would be fine.

Prestashop version: 1.7.5

Thank-you for any help!

Check

FormattedTextareaType.php

https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/develop/src/PrestaShopBundle/Form/Admin/Type/FormattedTextareaType.php

/** * Max size of UTF-8 content in MySQL text column */
const LIMIT_TEXT_UTF8 = 21844;

There might be side effects changing this so backup and test carefully.
