Heya, @helpdeskdeba0b8
If you need a long TXT value (like a DKIM key), split it into multiple quoted strings within the same record. Most DNS providers, including DO will concatenate them automatically. So instead of one giant string, you’d enter something like:
Let me know if this is a DKIM record or another DNS record and I can help you set it.
