Is there a limit on the number of characters I can pass through on a hidden form field? For example, can I pass in 5,000 characters - 5KB?

I believe the limitation will depend on what you've set for the individual field.

I think it depends on the server settings Marketo has - e.g. will the server accept large POST request. In PHP, this is a configurable value, e.g., php_value post_max_size 20M.

I am trying to post back a JSON string through a hidden form field that will be about 5,000 characters.

Charlie has that correct.
 

Review that limitation in your CRM, but you can usually see it if you pull the field into a Form 2.0 and it will display the Char limit.
