Upcoming Change: Increased character limits for module and field labels

Upcoming Change: Increased character limits for module and field labels

To provide greater flexibility in customizing your CRM, we are increasing the maximum character limits for module labels and field labels in Zoho CRM.

What's changing?


                Label
       Current Limit
     New Limit

 Module Label

 25 characters
 50 characters

 Subform Module  Label

 25 characters
 50 characters

 Field Label

 50 characters
 100 characters

Why this change?

Many organizations use business-specific terminology that exceeds the current character limits. With these increased limits, you can use more descriptive labels that better reflect your business processes without relying on abbreviations.

API compatibility

This enhancement is platform-wide and is not tied to a specific API version.
Once the change is available, the new limits apply across all supported API versions. If you use the Modules or Fields APIs to create or update labels, you can use the increased limits regardless of the API version, provided the endpoint supports creating or updating labels (POST or PUT).

What you should do

Review your applications and integrations if they validate or enforce the existing label length limits. Update any client-side or server-side validations to accommodate the new limits.

Availability

These changes will be rolled out in phases across all Zoho CRM data centers over the coming days.

Thank you for planning ahead.
