By default, it allows 4000 characters only. I don't know from where does it get that limit of 4000 characters.

I think 4000 characters is the limit for indexing by solar

Thanks, Marco Tenti,

Actually, I was testing only on the bpm:comment field which is OOTB.

But when I tested on my custom field, it was working well with the same control-param.

So, this 4000 characters restriction is from somewhere through bpm:comment field.

Hi Kintu,

You can take the reference of https://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/repository-properties.html

system.workflow.comment.property.max.length=4000

Here 4000 character size defined.You can override this property to increase size.
