      jira.text.field.character.limit is respected for description, environment, comments.

      However some add-ons could use a large custom field instead of their own database table to track things so having jira.text.field.character.limit affect custom fields by default is risky.

      Propose new jira.text.field.character.limit.customfields (so it falls right next to existing) it should default to 0 as well.

      Bonus: This way a jira-system-administrator can control it above a jira-administrator who may be making custom fields and not always understanding implications.

      There is already a request for setting limits on a single custom field (especially at least at creation). vs Hack of of making a field a system field...

            Any movement regarding specifying a more reasonable character limit. Seems to be a prominent issue?

            Thanks for the info. It still needs to be added to the docs

            Starting with JIRA 6.4.1 the jira.text.field.character.limit property also applies to text custom fields. There's a new marker interface com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.TextCustomFieldType to be used when length of a text custom field is to be validated. Base text custom fields classes in JIRA implement this interface, namely GenericTextCFType and StringCFType. It also applies to any custom fields types extending these base types.
            See JRA-28519 for more details.
