Tags input caps the whole list at 20 characters 🏷️
File: client/src/components/Task/TaskModal.jsx (line 355)
The tags field has maxLength={20}, and that limit applies to the whole comma separated string, not to one tag. The placeholder sitting in the same input is Tags (comma separated: react, api, bug), and typing exactly that example is already 15 characters. So there is room for about two tags and nothing more.
Two things make this more than just a tight limit:
Other paths are not bound by it. The AI tag suggestions on the task card write through updateTask in hooks/useSuggestTags.jsx, and the GitHub import writes through server/routes/github.js. Neither goes through this input. A task can therefore end up with more tags than the modal will ever let you type. Open that task and the field shows all of them, but you cannot add a single character until you delete some first.
Nothing on the server asks for it. tags: [{ type: String }] in server/models/Task.js has no length constraint, and sanitizeTags only trims, drops empties and dedupes.
Fix: give the list its own constant next to the one the title already uses, and size it for a list instead of for a single tag.
const TITLE_MAX_LENGTH = 100;
const TAGS_MAX_LENGTH = 120;
<input
type="text"
maxLength={TAGS_MAX_LENGTH}
placeholder="Tags (comma separated: react, api, bug)"
value={form.tags}
onChange={(e) => setForm({ ...form, tags: e.target.value })}
...
/>One line changed plus one constant. Came up while working on #486, where clicking a suggested tag sets the value in state and is not bound by maxLength either, so the two paths can disagree about what fits.
