Hi all,

The dataelement table allows for DE names to be up to 230 characters. But
when adding a DE name through the UI there is a limitation of 150
characters.

Can someone perhaps explain why this is?

We have a project (Core Standards) where the DE names are in most cases >
150 char. The DE names were imported into the DHIS2 using csv without
problems. In fact, everything (custom data entry forms, custom reports,
pivot table) works fine and displays the full name. But when editing the
name through the UI the changes cannot be saved if the name exceeds 150
char.
