What is the character limit of a workspace name

[Don-Bot]

Is there a character limit to how long a workspace name can be?  And if so what is it?

Hi @Don-Bot 

No Limit is mentioned in Microsoft documentation but kept short, meaning & a unique name for the workspace

The limit is 256 characters. However, it is recommended to follow a naming convention when naming your workspaces.

Hi @Don-Bot ,

Currently, there seems to be no restriction on naming when creating a normal workspace. However, it should be noted that some special characters are not supported in workspace names when using XMLA endpoints. The workaround is to use URL encoding for special characters, e.g., for forward slash /, use %2F.

Fore more detail, you can read below document:

@PijushRoy ,
Yes, I don't want some long name.  I did a test at 250 characters will fit...  that would be a horrible workspace name.  

We just have some characters we add to every workspace name with code and wanted to make sure I didn't need to put a restriction on the client identifiers.  

Thanks
