MicrosoftHave you tried in the Azure portal to see how many characters you can
enter for these? I know they put max length validation in, so try there
to confirm the maximum string length. But for the label descriptions, I

MicrosoftActually, I've just documented this here as a new entry in the "additional information" list for visual markings, because we discovered Excel has a much shorter max string length for headers/footers (253 characters) - so the string can truncate if the number of characters that you specify for the label exceeds this number.
To answer your original question:
- Max number of characters you can specify for headers/footers: 1024
- Max number of characters you can specify for watermarks: 255
