Hi Experts

Is there any limit for the length of the name of any object.

For example: an object name could not be more than 27 characters, Is there anything like this ?

Thank you in advance

There is no such limit AFAIK. But its always a good practice to keep it minimal and understandable.
You can check the standard object names for better understanding. Standard Object names

This makes me sure that there is no much limit of 27 characters to name an object in appian

I tried with expression rule this is length limit for it : 500 Character

But as mentioned in the Appian documentation the name must follow Appian Standards

Actually my concern is to find that there will be no limit of at most 27 characters for naming an object.

But your efforts help me to understand more.

27 characters used to be a limitation for table names for certain databases if I recall correctly. Shouldn't be a concern with modern databases though.
