<!-- Answer --> For a permanent fix, you have two main options: 1. **Increase the column length or change its type**: Since the `name` column in `cicd_deployments` is not indexed or a key, you can safely expand it from `varchar(255)` to something larger (like `varchar(500)` or `TEXT`). This approach preserves the full deployment name and is the recommended solution when you want to avoid data loss. The DevLake community has used migration scripts for similar fixes in other plugins, such as changing column types to `TEXT` or increasing varchar length to handle long strings without errors ([example](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/issues/8250), [example](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/issues/8254)). You would need to update the struct definition and add a migration script to apply the schema change. 2. **Trim the deployment name in code before insertion**: This avoids schema changes and is safer if you want to guarantee stability, but it will cut off any names longer than 255 characters. This method is often used when the full value isn't critical for analysis ([example](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/issues/8325), [example](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/issues/8545)). Most users and maintainers prefer schema changes via migration scripts for permanent fixes, especially when the column is not indexed or a key. If you want, I can provide a sample migration script or code snippet for either approach—just let me know which you prefer. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
