Public bug reported:

Guys,

I am not sure how critical this would be, but we faced this live on an
implementation and was really a shocker.

There seems to be 2 issues, both the issues have same root!

Case 1. Try to duplicate the company record, although this should never
go as a real case I guess. System would give you an error of not null
constrain for the field 'name'.  The field name is a fields.related and
can usually fail in this case.

Proposed solution : copy() should be overridden and it can manage the
rest.

Case 2. Keeping the field as related is fine, but injustice happens when
the same name(from Partner model,feeling like a rich) when goes to name
of the company, feels like filthy. In technical terms, the size of the
name for partner_id appears to be 128 chars and name for company stands
as 64 chars long. This results in "DataError: value too long for type
character varying(64)" when the name of the partner doesn't really fit
company name.

Proposed Solution : size for name field of company should be reset to
128.

Attached merges would pave the way for the solution.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Serpent Consulting Services.
