Hi Lars,

Just to note that there is also a discrepancy between the datatables and the UI for the length of Metadata attribute values. 
The UI says that attribute values must be between 2 and 230 characters yet the table datatype is character varying (255) and we have stored attribute values >230 characters. When you edit the object e.g. Data Element and you have an attribute field with >230 characters only then are you unable to store your change to the unrelated field due to the validation on attribute field length in the UI. Would you see this as a related bug or need another bug report?

Regards,

Elmarie Claasen

Title:
  Data Validation description limited to 160 characters by UI

Status in DHIS 2:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.
