PRs brake Azure Devops PR Description 4000 characters limit

[almir-gl]

We are currently facing an issue where PR is over 4000 characters, because Azure DevOps has limit of number of characters on PR Description.

This is error message:
"Invalid argument value.\r\nParameter name: A description for a pull request must not be longer than 4000 characters."

This is a thread where increase of limit was requested to Microsoft, but still not implemented:

Looks like we need something like #3492 where the maximum length depends on the selected forge.

The limit for Bitbucket Server seems to be 32768: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-14135

Thank you for fixing this!

Do you have ETA on version that will include this fix?

[fthomas]

Scala Steward 0.33.0 (which includes the fix for this issue) was just released.

Tried the above version and still seeing failures in Azure Devops PR creation. I have this default config

pullRequests.grouping = [
{name = "all", "title" = "Scala Steward - Housekeeping", "filter" = [{"group" = "*"}]}
]

is the fix considering grouping?

Error I see is
