# Issuable-like Rails models utilities
|
|
|
|
GitLab Rails codebase contains several models that hold common functionality and behave similarly to
|
|
[Issues](../user/project/issues/index.md). Other examples of "issuables"
|
|
are [Merge Requests](../user/project/merge_requests/index.md) and
|
|
[Epics](../user/group/epics/index.md).
|
|
|
|
This guide accumulates guidelines on working with such Rails models.
|
|
|
|
## Important text fields
|
|
|
|
There are maximum length constraints for the most important text fields for issuables:
|
|
|
|
- `title`: 255 characters
|
|
- `title_html`: 800 characters
|
|
- `description`: 1 megabyte
|
|
- `description_html`: 5 megabytes
