It is impossible to add a long TXT entry

[zilti]

This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:

- [X] This doc is inaccurate in this way: The workaround to "construct a TXT record that exceeds the 255-octet maximum length of a character-string" given in the documentation does not work.
- [ ] This is a doc addition request.
- [ ] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example: input and output.

Can you provide more information such as the version of Designate you are using, the command line you used to create the record, etc.

Note, you need to be careful that you aren't using characters un-escaped that are being interpreted by your shell.

Here is what worked correctly for me:

$ openstack recordset create --type TXT --record '"pENnXXCDU8VzyQZBy8Lkg8i8xOnG4R6FcTiRH9LTMS4GhASEcd3JilmjaQyjSyKPRqzxmYFP9VLoGZF0EyMijdXnC5lXha5hRNbJmiPbukZrtqqL2v6cumK6XT3RDly92MBpd2QyCxgHf3S6pn1dykwW2VUCu7pNZPtQXbONQAUxUGoK2rTx6fS0hxDgmfnL6JfKeYmDbqcwZsyHCm" "piafanPQv6WK7gdQ27YC11I7Hp1FnC9UY6nC5IisRUaHVf5CnuSleyswL05hmKOgqdV1sqtC4koT6FmLhSQIrKbgFZUx5MOewzIOofUrKvUCaTbXhTxPRzMvZVwU5jyG7w1BUgdBwg6YRjG0i33sEoUpEnMg6ZXQaxXZlWFz76SuGxamdpZglh7XisJDaiBxx23SGFHB"' example.com. _domainkey

Yes, the following is what I am running:

openstack recordset create --type TXT --record '"v=DKIM1; t=s;p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA4LGnxmlCXTNzKVtQw54d+SlAhroC156a2/NggZopQKqRKijW7T6exPtCzY6pLOBYhiV8mx5zsMFbDYgdzH/gXyFEp4Q2lNwwI4OdRo3WH4GY1m3l6on4KLxYtfJUtVowrsQgaJrU7+7fCSBEEJRp" "N/AlX3fb9/Qw8SQy6UxOCaDi11ZBTxnil1Y6JMfAAZdnelGiO+W28AGe+GVUxz3FneCjM1g0JOlR8z8z9MebMToIryQJuZV0Q///GgJrMX8BLR0IvcMarAflrIyCCN6MmyDtc0XPmGsj4ZMrTtKqVWiVQbUMI/RMNjurKVqgpEK4Lk4JB11299zlFF3urv2FsQIDAQAB"' lyrion.ch. 20230702._domainkey

The response to that is:

Provided object is not valid. Got a InvalidObject error with message Quotation marks should be escaped with backslash.

What version my hoster is running I do not know; my best guess due to what they are linking to on their documentation page is Victoria.

I cut/pasted your command line exactly and it runs for me.

You will need Designate Wallaby or newer for the long TXT fields. I suspect your cloud is running an older version.
