   I just upgraded my instance to v4.3.0, but can't figure out how to change the maximum post length, as this seems to have changed.

   I updated the value in app/javascript/mastodon/features/compose/containers/compose_form_container.js, but this doesn't seem to have made a difference. I precompiled the assets again after the change and restarted all mastodon processes, but it's still set to 500.

     One more bit of info - when I refresh the web UI, I can very briefly see it showing "5000" as the max character count in the compose window, before changing back to "500".

     Anyone have any idea how I can make this change work in v4.3.0?

     @sean ah, perfect thanks! I had stupidly assumed that because it wasn't hardcoded in one place anymore, the validator file would have picked that up too... should have checked. Thanks fir your help! 😊

     I think you also need to edit “live/app/validators/status_length_validator.rb”

     @sean I mean, on reflection, given one file is JS and one is Ruby, I should have known this wouldn't work automatically... 😅
