75 chars limitation on Text Fields.

[kigsmtua]

According to the docs here, https://api.slack.com/reference/block-kit/composition-objects#text looks like this field has a limitation of 3000 however this implementation has capped this at 75. Is there a reason I might have missed

I wouldn't mind pushing a quick fix for this

Hey @kigsmtua, probably some legacy field validation based on a past state of their API. Happy to push through a fix, but I noticed you'd closed this as completed already?

[kigsmtua]

@nicklambourne I believe I closed this by mistake

Where did you see the 75 char limit in the codebase? At the time the issue was opened the Text object itself had no length limit but I've subsequently added validation checks for a 3000 char max.

https://github.com/nicklambourne/slackblocks/blob/master/slackblocks/objects.py#L205-L207 this actually passed in the option object as a 75 char limit, since the description is a text, it should allow upto the max I believe

The documentation on the Option object from the Slack Blocks API reference lists the limit explicitly:

Maximum length for the text within this field is 75 characters.

So I'm still a bit confused as to what you mean.
