TYPO3 meta description - Text crop

here is the normal typoscript code for the Example like the Description:

page {
  meta {
    description = TEXT
    description {
      field = og_description // description
      crop = 160| |1
    }
  }
}

How can i add a crop for the description Text?

Thanks all

As Julian mentioned: if you want to modify an existing meta tag definition you need to use replace (even if you only modify the existing definition)

If you only want to crop the existing text your code should be:

page {
  meta {
    description {
      crop = 160| |1
      replace = 1
    }
  }
}

If you also want to change the fields you could use
(my default is description.field = description):

page {
  meta {
    description {
      field = og_description // description
      crop = 160| |1
      replace = 1
    }
  }
}

But don't use: description = TEXT as this will set the value TEXT to the meta tag

With activated EXT:seo the tags are first set by PHP and after that, the TypoScript config is handled. The TypoScript configuration does not replace existing tags by default. So tags that have been set via PHP will not be overwritten.

If you'd like to change this default behavior, you have to use replace in TypoScript configuration (-> "MetaTag API > TypoScript and PHP":

page.meta {
    description = TEXT
    description.value = Override the pages description
    description.replace = 1
}
