I am looking for informaiton on the variable for setting up the DetailedDescription for ECO.

I found on the wiki:

Set server description
  • DetailedDescription — Sets the long-form description of your server when people click on it in the server browser. Adding this description helps the server show up more prominently in the browser.

I have tried using this, but either my description is too long, or this is set some other way.

Please advise.

That's the correct one, here the one from one of our official servers:

"DetailedDescription": "This official ECO server is hosted by Strange Loop Games in the EU. The current cycle runs for the time frame noted in the server name.\n\nPlaying on this server is subject to rules viewable in its Ecopedia (F1). Our Game Masters do not actively monitor this server, you need to contact them on our official Discord if you need help.\n",

Works fine here, what is too long will simply not be displayed.

What is the maximum character length for the DetailedDescription ?

If i remember correctly it does not have one, once all info for the server display panel goes over a technical limit, the description will be cut off. That includes the server name and any variable info.
