I am using Netlify CMS to manage content in a Pelican site. Pelican uses metadata at the top of markdown files for fields. When I allow users to add more than approx. 80 chars to a String field, Netlify CMS is adding a newline character to the content of the String field at about 80 chars in.
Pelican does not expect newlines in the metadata so it breaks and doesn’t generate the content.
I’ve added a character count limit using regexp pattern, but 80 chars is a lot fewer chars than I’d like for some fields. Can anyone help?
