I learned my working method 12 years ago from an expert. He wrote his findings in his images as EXIF data.

My request: Increase the size of the ‘Image description’ field in the Info panels, EXIF tab display to 4 kB.

Addition to my request:
IPTC:Caption-Abstract is limited to 2000 characters in the IPTC/IM specifications.
EXIF:Image Description and XML:Description are not directly limited.
The total amount of EXIF data in a JPEG image is limited to 64 KB. Data larger than 64 KB can only be written to a sidecar file.

Metadata > Edit IPTC... only allows 2 KB of data – OK.
Metadata > Edit XML... allows more than 3.7 KB of data (I have not tested the maximum) – OK.

My sample file has 3747 characters in the description.
