Currently Jira has a limitation on the description length of 32767 characters

if you try to sync a GH issue with longer description, it will fail to create a ticket at all.

Possible solution

Truncate the description at around 28k and add a sentence that the remaining is truncated and the user has to go to GitHub to read the full issue

Workaround

temporary reduce the length of the description on GitHub, let the issue sync, then return back the original lengthy description
