Bot commands limit should be increased from 10 to 12 in localization schema

[Benjiiim]

Cross-posting from OfficeDev/microsoft-teams-app-schema#194 as the repo doesn't seem to be actively monitored.

Once again, a change has been introducted in the manifest schema without adapting the localization schema.

From v1.24, bot commands limit has been increaded from 10 to 12 to accomodate Microsoft Copilot Studio agents, which support up to 12 starter prompts.

See the What's new in manifest version 1.24 section of Microsoft 365 app manifest schema reference | Microsoft Learn

Please update the v1.24 localization schema to reflect the change.

🤖 AI-Generated Preliminary Analysis:

Your report about the manifest schema raising the bot commands limit from 10 to 12 (to support Copilot Studio agents)—but localization schema not matching—is known, but there is no official schema update yet.

Current status:

• Manifest schema v1.24 allows up to 12 bot commands.
• Localization schema still restricts to 10 (and its length limits are also outdated vs. manifest schema). See: Microsoft 365 app manifest schemas.
• Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and logged a feature request with engineering (GitHub reference).

Actionable steps:

• For now, limit localization commands to 10 or less—or avoid localizing commands beyond 10 until schema is updated.
• Monitor GitHub and Microsoft Learn for schema corrections.
• If submitting to validation, ensure your schema matches localization limits to pass.

Apologies for the inconvenience. This is a schema mismatch that Microsoft is addressing.
