    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      Currently a read only field has a maximum character limit of 255 characters.

      This is both for UI created fields and fields created via Connect.

      For example if a Custom Field is created with

      "jiraEntityProperties": [
      {
        "keyConfigurations": [
          {
            "extractions": [
              {
                "objectName": "example",
                "type": "text"
              }
            ],
            "propertyKey": "example"
          }
        ],
        "entityType": "issue",
        "name": {
          "value": "Example Property"
        },
        "key": "example-key"
      }
    ],
    "jiraIssueFields": [
      {
        "key": "vera-fields-example",
        "name": {
          "value": "example"
        },
        "description": {
          "value": "Read only custom field Example Property"
        },
        "type": "read_only",
        "property": {
          "path": "example",
          "key": "example-key",
          "type": "string"
        }
      }
    ]

      You can see that the read_only field uses the example property. Updating the property with fewer than 255 characters it displays. If we add more then 255 characters it does not display.

      It's stored correctly, just doesn't display in the user interface.
