Dear CP2K Users,

I am trying to perform metadynamics on a combination of collective
variables. Within the section COMBINE_COLVAR, one can input a
functional form for the combination of CV's. My functional form
appears to be *too long* for the FUNCTION tag in COMBINE_COLVAR and I
get the following error:

 *** 17:45:01 WARNING in input_val_types:val_get err=-300  val_get

 COLVARS| COMBINING FUNCTION : (CV1-2)^2+(CV2-2)^2+(CV3-2)^2+(CV4-2)^2+
(CV5-2)^2+(CV6-2)^2+(CV7-2)^2+(CV8-2)^2+
 COLVARS| VARIABLES : CV1 CV2 CV3 CV4 CV5 CV6 CV7 CV8 CV9 CV10 CV11
CV12 CV13 CV14 CV15 CV16 CV17 CV18 CV19 CV20 CV21 CV22 CV23 CV24 CV25

I thought an easy fix would be change the default_string_length to a
larger number but that didn't seem to do the trick.

Any help/suggestions on how to get around this would be appreciated.
