Question

How to increase the size of the system names?

Answer

There is a setting that allows increasing the maximum size of the system names.
The default value is 32 (characters).
This limit can be changed by modifying the value in the confi file jahia.properties

Here is the procedure to apply this change:

  1. Open the jahia.properties file: [Jahia]/digital-factory-config/jahia/jahia.properties
  2. Look for the propertyjahia.jcr.maxNameSize
  3. Change the value of this property as below (64 is an example) (Note # should be removed):
    jahia.jcr.maxNameSize = 64
  4. Stop and restart your Jahia instance.
