Admin- Configuration- MAXIMUM VALUES

This is where you control the maximum values (such as characters or products) required for some displays. You can leave the default settings. You can also change any of these fields to zero, and this would prevent an error message if they skip the box, such as when creating an account.

Other then the My Store settings, the Maximum Values is really the only Configuration menu that you might want to use to make simple changes to the display of the data on your site.
