Currently the flagged/unflagged message is limited to 128 characters. It would be great if there was a way to extend this.

Thanks in advance for the feature request consideration.

@bash321

The length restriction comes from the textfield type's default value. [ The Flag entity places no restriction on the length! ]

see FlagFormBase::buildForm()

It looks like we need to add a #maxlength variable/property, to one or more of the many message textfields, for example

$form['messages']['flag_message']

In short I think we can provide a solution without using the remove_field_label_length_limit module.

If you would like to write a patch, I will be available to review, and help out where appropriate.

Would you give an sample of the text that you want to enter into the message field? My general advice would be to always keep these messages short but practically speaking - I want to see what you have in mind - very long passages of text will have consequences for the way some pages are themed.

Hi bash321,

just thought you should know your patch has zero bytes.

If you are generating patch for the first time ... and would like some help... just ask and I will answer any questions, If you sent me a email that is probably best rather than us sorting it out in the issue queue.
