Increase character limit for regex validated properties.

[riipenadmin]

Currently, when you enable regex validation on a single-line or multi-line property, it throws an error when more than 100 characters are inputted (max 100 characters).

My company needs more characters than this in this field, so we cannot use the regex.

Please increase this limit!

valid entry with < 100 chars:

invalid entry with < 100 chars

invalid entry with > 100 chars:

valid entry with > 100 chars

👋Hi there, I'm Rachel from the HubSpot Product team. We've increased the character limit from 100 to 1,000 for text properties which have regex validation applied. This update will be reflected shortly in our KB documentation, but it should already be live in-app.

Thank you for your feedback!

I couldn't agree more on this one. I suspect it has to do with the processing required to process longer strings, but 100 is quite limiting especially when dealing with data points like URLs that are being copied and pasted by an end user.

As an example, we have a property that is used to capture a google doc that is related to each deal. When copying and pasting a google doc URL, it can contain a number of additional parameters that easily add up to >100 characters.

Because of this 100 character limit, we basically have 2 options:
1. Force our end users to trim URL strings when adding to Hubspot rather than just copying and pasting from the browser into the Hubspot property.

2. Remove the regex validation all together.

We're going to have to go with number 2 because we don't want to overcomplicate the user experience here, but it sure would be nice if we could ensure the data being entered in that field is a google doc link without creating a poor end user experience.
