I created this post to provide a quick overview of two different Drupal 8 modules that extend the default node title length.
There are currently two modules:
- Node Title Length
- Entity Title Length
Both modules are easy to set up with minimal configuration. However, I recommend the Node Title Length module as it is in a stable and released state.
Node Title Length [Recommended] #
- Module: Node Title Length
- Admin Configuration: No admin configuration required. Defaults to 8000 characters, which can be updated before installing in the module code.
- Official Release: ✅ Yes
How to Set Up and Configure: #
- Enable the module.
- All set! No additional configuration is needed.
Entity Title Length #
- Module: Entity Title Length
- Admin Configuration:
/admin/etl/config
- Official Release: ❌ No
How to Set Up and Configure: #
- Enable the module.
- Update the configuration in the admin section:
/admin/etl/config
- Update the title length in the form display configuration for that entity/node to the desired new length.
