Because this limit can change, we recommend that clients make a describeSObjects() call on the FeedItem or FeedComment object. To determine the maximum number of allowed characters, look at the length of the Body or CommentBody field. To edit this property in a comment, make a PATCH request to /chatter/comments/commentId. Editing comments is supported in version 34.0 and later. Rich text and inline images are supported in comment bodies in version 35.0 and later. Inline images in content bodies must use content document (069) image files previously uploaded to Salesforce. Entity links are supported in version 43.0 and later.	Required	23.0
