[Archivesspace_Users_Group] RDE Issue

That error message means some of the information being sent by your web 
browser (probably the cookies) exceeds the limit set in this Apache 
server configuration value:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize

I believe the RDE feature uses cookies to store columns widths, and such 
like, so it is unlikely to exceed the default value. But maybe whoever 
set up your Apache server set it to a lower value. If not, maybe you've 
encountered a bug that is causing excessive amounts of information to be 
stored in cookies.
