The titles entered are most often the same as the project title. The project title however has no length limit. When such a project tries to upload their final thesis the system will crash because the accepted long project title is rejected as the final thesis title. This change removes the length limit on final thesis titles to bring them to parity with the project title. See OTRS ticket [202411011026](https://otrs.dsv.su.se/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=389771#1413199) This change has already been done manually in the production system to resolve the above ticket. ## How to test Submit a final thesis using a title longer than 255 characters and see that is accepted.

Working with the API
The API is protected by OAuth 2 acting as a resource server verifying tokens using token introspection.
When developing it uses a locally running instance of an
authorization server
that is run inside Docker. It can be started with docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up.
Since there is no frontend to interact with the authorization server there's a helper script in
GetToken.java that can be run directly with java GetToken.java to run through the authorization flow
and get an access token.
Once the token has been obtained go to the Swagger UI to interact with the API. Click the "Authorize" button in the top right and paste the access token to log in.
