Hi @11129

It looks like a real issue. You can let PKP’s developers know you would like this feature by filing an issue in PKP’s Github repository, where we manage and track our software development.

You just need to create a free Github account in order to create new issues. Please let me know if you need assistance with this.

You are reaching the character limit of the field? Do you know how many characters you are attempting to fill in?

Hi @11129

You can increase the limit field length changing its type from TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT on the citations table, raw_citation column.
See this reference for column type length:

However, be aware that it might be returned to the original type when you need to upgrade your OJS.
