Longer tooltips with more characters for geometry nodes inputs.

Tooltips have a maximum of 63 characters for geometry nodes inputs. Being able to write more text would be benificial in describing parameters for users that received the system but did not built it.

this is a good idea. and it's easy to avoid a wall of text by making tooltips scrollable.

You won't get this until all strings in blender, except for the text file, are stored as 63 characters. Unless it's possible to store the tooltip in a text file.

I think there should be two levels of tooltips: Hovering would give a one sentence description, so the 63 char limit is fine. Hovering for longer would give a longer, more detailed discription. At least three or even lines of text should be allowed, i think.

It's meant to be a tip, not a replacement for the manual

Are you suggesting that keeping 100s of "manuals" for external Gnode systems is far more practical than allowing the Gnode artist to integrate his descriptions? really?

I think it is good to have a limit to prevent having a sudden wall of text obstructing the screen, but 63 might be a bit harsh...
