Description

Metamask not adding custom tokens when clicked on sites with metmask icon to add tokens and when we add token manually is says something related to length 11 or 12 characters. Its so annoying to use metamask. If tokens have length greater than 12 or more they should be allowed to add.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the manual token-import flow and the site-triggered import flow described in the issue, then locate the validation that rejects token symbols at 11 or 12 characters. Done means tokens with longer symbols can be added through both paths without breaking the existing import behavior.
