What to do when i have more than 255 character in a field

Hi, i tried to map those destination lanes :


In the tunnel 2 lanes go to A 13 an 2 lanes go to A 1
Thus :

destination:lanes=vers A13;périphérique extérieur;Pte Dauphine;Pte d’Auteuil|vers A13;périphérique extérieur;Pte Dauphine;Pte d’Auteuil|vers A1;Ch. De Gaulle;périphérique intérieur;Pte de Champerret;Pte de la Chapelle|vers A1;Ch. De Gaulle;périphérique intérieur;Pte de Champerret;Pte de la Chapelle

But when i subit my cotribution i have this error


And when i do it from iD the end of the text get cut off

So what i am supposed to do ?

There is no solution that is actually supported by any data consumer at this point.

You can split the tag using some kind of numbering scheme if you still want to add it for documentation purposes (I would number all keys to avoid the 1st incomplete one being picked up by data consumers).

Each blue vers panel refers to a numbered route that the lane leads toward, right? If so, you could shorten destination:lanes=* to 247 characters by removing each occurrence of vers A13 and vers A1 and adding destination:ref:to:lanes=A13|A13|A1|A1, which is more structured anyways.

That said, I’m a little confused because the way is tagged lanes=3, not lanes=4. The tag should only have two vertical bars if there are three lanes. If one of the lanes has been duplicated, removing that duplication will avoid the character limit and enable you to expand some abbreviations.
