Hi @Srinivasu2 ,

The 'Label' field is a 'Documentation field' type on the sys_dictionary table. OOTB, Max length is 80. In theory, you *could* change the max length of that field by adding the Max length field to a list and editing it, but you shouldn't. If you modify this field, you have to own the field. You will not receive any further updates when the vendor makes any changes on this field when you upgrade. 

Please check the below article for more information.

@Srinivasu2 

the maximum length of a field's label is indeed restricted to 80 characters by default. This limitation is imposed to maintain consistency in the user interface and prevent excessively long labels from affecting the layout of forms and lists.

However, if you have a specific requirement to increase the maximum length of a field's label beyond 80 characters, you can achieve this by customizing the platform.
