There is a limit to the size of comments and descriptions of issues, merge requests, and epics.
Attempting to add a body of text larger than the limit will result in an error, and the
item will not be created.
It's possible that this limit will be changed to a lower number in the future.

### Description and comment length
> Introduced in [GitLab 12.2](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/61974).
Descriptions and comments on [issuable](../../../development/issuable-like-models.md) can be no
longer than 1 million characters.
Previously, there was no limit to issuable description size, which created a
[possibility of a DoS attack](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/61974) by allowing
very long descriptions. It's possible that we will set this limit to a lower number in the future.
