I’m trying to build quite a long one to replace a Category Template.

But I’m getting an error that its too big:

However, this setting is set higher:

Is this not the same thing, or is this a bug?

I scanned the code briefly, but couldn’t find the answer.

I feel 5,000 is a little restrictive, can we double it or make it its own setting?

Oh I see now, it’s an Active Record error, and the original migration is here:
