Enhance maximum Tag length

I am writing to request an enhancement for the Stackify Retrace tagging feature,
as described in this article:
https://stackify.com/get-smarter-log-management-with-log-tags/ (https://stackify.com/get-smarter-log-management-with-log-tags/) .

Currently, we are encountering an issue where tags are truncated after 21 characters.
This creates challenges in distinguishing between different tags, as the first 21 characters often remain identical.
We did not expect this behaviour since no limitations are mentioned in the blog post or documentation.

We use tags to track and differentiate log entries from parallel scheduled tasks, and some of these task names are quite similar.
With over 60 scheduled tasks, this similarity is to be expected.

Increasing the character limit to at least 70 characters would significantly improve our ability to track and distinguish the scheduled task operations effectively.

Additionally, could you please provide some insight into the technical background of this limitation?
Is it related to indexing?

We also investigated the structured logging / custom properties feature. However, we are missing the 'Tag' tab, which provides a listing of all existing tags.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your response.
