Public bug reported:

There is no consistency across DHIS2 with regard to the data type used
for fields that typically contain (possibly relatively long) definitions
and descriptions.

For instance, a data validation NAME is specified as variable
character(230) - which is excessive (the standard 160 characters make
more sense) - whereas the data validation DESCRIPTION is specified as
text (unlimited length, which makes sense). BUT THEN THE UI IS LIMITING
THE DESCRIPTION TEXT TO 160 CHARACTERS, WHICH IS CLEARLY INADEQUATE.
