Creating tags error: Parameter "name" must be less than 1024 characters.

I have some data that their event field is sometimes... lengthy (not always) so when I try to tag the events of interest, I am not allowed (presented with the error 'Parameter "name" must be less than 1024 characters.'). Is there a workaround or a better way of tagging those events?
