I encounter an error saying ‘The length of a parameter field exceeds the limit.’
I also read some topic here on forum with similar issue but none of them resolved my particular case.
After some digging I found out that it is because of Auth Access Token. If it is too long the endpoint cannot be saved. What’s even worse is that it does not indicate that there are changes on the endpoint and once you think it is saved and close the tab, the changes are not saved and you loose the work on endpoint.
Is it possible to either increase limit for access token or at least be able to save the endpoint without the access token? It is quite frustration to always manually deleting the token to be able to save the changes.
I also include the screenshots in this thread and if you need more evidence or information please contact me right away.
Thank you

We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing with the access token length limitation. To help investigate this further, could you please provide the following information:
Open the console (Win: Alt+7+8; Mac: Option+Cmd+I), try saving the endpoint to trigger the error, then take screenshots of the Console and Network panels showing the error messages.
If possible, please share the curl(bash) format of the problematic endpoint via private message.
This will help us better understand the situation and explore possible solutions.
I’m so sorry but due to sensitive data I am not able to share with you details on request data.
Screenshot of console is already attached to thread and also full response is there.
Request is simple body with just one attribute. Auth is OAuth 2 with client credentials without scopes.
Hope at least this helps,
Thank you for understanding
Thank you for sharing the details. We understand the issue you’re facing with the access token length limitation. Currently, there are database length restrictions in place that prevent saving endpoints with very long access tokens.
We’ll evaluate this limitation and explore potential solutions. In the meantime, you’ll need to manually remove the access token before saving endpoint changes to avoid losing your work.
We appreciate your patience and will update you if there are any changes regarding this limitation.
