Hi guys,

We have a library and request a comment field when manually triggering the file. This is inserted into the version comment of the file via HTTP request with Power Automate. Now we have an error with a comment that is about 600 characters long. The following message came up in Power Automate "The length of the URL for this request exceeds the configured maxUrlLength value." Is there a way to increase the maxUrlLength?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi @jleystral,

maxUrlLength is a web.config setting on the servers of Microsoft. As far as I am aware there is no setting or option to be able to set that yourself. They should change the error to be a bit more user friendlier though. It does suggest you can change it yourself, to be honest 😂

To workaround this you could change the URI slightly by using url parameters.

Looks like those are not included in the count of the restriction. Kudos to AJ on StackExchange for pointing that out:
