Issue/Introduction

When pasting a text in the description of a service option there is an error shown:
"The description text, including formatting tags, must be 1010 characters or less".
If we try to write the same text manually than it works fine.
As you can understand a copy&paste of such a long text should be working.
Typing such a text would be difficult, right?
