Activity Name - 75 characters only

over 4 years ago

When I want to change name of my activity I can use only 75 characters (I found it today). Which is very low. Is that temporary problem, or problem with my account? Till today I rename lots of my activities and many of them has more than 75 characters. Any help, please? (i tried to use chrome, firefox .... and even use my mobile app ... same result) Thanks

    Never needed that long title, but tried it now, and indeed there is apparently a limit of 75 characters. I can only suggest using the notes for storing any long texts, instead of the title.

    Thanks but for me its better to defines type and parameters of training in the name of activity for quicker check in list of activity (as on the picture). Anyway till yesterday it was possible to have names longer than 75ch. (Strava hasnt this limitation) What a pitty.

    OK, I see. Well, it looks like it is no more possible. If you do not want to use the notes for the details, you'll have to condense the title more, using more aggressive abbreviation.

    For example instead of your longest title of 101 chars:
    #56 - intervaly - 3km WU / D5 / ABC / 4 x 100m / 3 x 400,500,600m / 2km CD / IO: medziklus 90/60/120s

    You could use something like this (71 chars):
    #56 int 3kWU; D5; ABC; 4x100; 3x(400,500,600); 2kCD; IO:klus 90/60/120s

    or even this one (66 characters):
    #56 int 3kWU D5 ABC 4x100 3x(400,500,600) 2kCD IO:klus:90/60/120s

    The only other alternative would be hacking the JavaScript of the page (using local overrides in DevTools), bypassing the limitation of the entry field. Though the length may be trimmed on the server side anyway - I did not test it.
