Google has changed the maximum characters displayed to 320 characters in search result listings. Is there any way to increase the 'Description' field default character limit to at least 320 up from the current 255 limit?
I would think that this will need to be addressed in a future MODX upgrade.
Current length for the description field is 191 characters as that's the most for a varchar type that UTF8mb4 can support. To make it longer, it'll need to be changed to a text type.
Thanks for both of your answers, I have suggested a change on GitHub. In the mean time I will need to create a custom Template Variable to accomodate the increased character limit.
