I am updating a specific topic via the API. Unfortunately I ran into the following error a few times: {"errors":["Body is limited to X characters; you entered Y."]} The problem is that I don’t want to increase max post length in the admin settings, because this would make this the new post length for all topics. But I don’t see another option right now. Is there any chance that one could set the max post length for a specific topic (or a user/token who is sending the body of the topic)?

Ok, so basically this is not possible with discourse unless one writes a plugin. Got it. This just means I will have to dump this plugin list somewhere else and not in discourse. Problem solved. People will be able to click on an external link instead…

You could create a plugin that would let you set the max post length to what you want for the one topic (or user?) and then apply a different one for the rest. Why not just increase the post length for all posts?

The topic that I am editing via the API is uncharacteristically long for a post. It’s a list of plugins in a table format with name, description, author(s), link. Nobody should ever write such a long post manually. :wink:

Is there a way to increase "max post length" for a specific topic?
