Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is there a plan to expand the character count on Highlights in the CMS? The Trial Court Web Team has encountered areas where a longer callouts would be valuable for documents we are converting from PDF to HTML as part of our digital accessibility project. Longer Highlights would allow us to more closely mirror some of the formatting in the source documents.

Describe the solution you'd like
Removal of character limit on Highlights in CMS, or a higher character limit.
