Ordertag character length restricted to 20 in the placeOrder API

[admin]

Dear SmartAPI users,

Starting November 15, 2024, the ordertag field in the placeOrder API will support up to 20 characters, with any orders exceeding this limit being rejected.

We have updated the documentation to include this new validation and provided the error message for cases where the ordertag exceeds the limit.

Let me know if there’s anything further you need on this.
Sample error message:

{
  "message": "Ordertag length should not exceed 20 characters",
  "errorcode": "AB4008",
  "status": false,
  "data": null
}

Regards,
SmartAPI Team

@ravitandur Thank you for your suggestion, based on the customer feedback, we are increasing the limit of order tag from 15 to 20.

@admin no response. Any other form/way to escalate this requirement to Angel?

@admin any update on requested requirement of allowing 20 characetrs TAG?

[ravitandur]

@admin can u please take this as a mandatory requirement and do the needful to allow 20 characters in TAG. As I mentioned previously, all our algos are designed to use 20 characters in TAG which is allowed by all brokers. Angel also must allow 20 characters in TAG. Please do the needful.

Thanks,
Ravi
