Isn't the main problem here the fact that whatever limit you chose, if the original channel is at or near the limit, the cloned one will be over limit? So the real fix is to - match the textfield length in the WebUI to the column width, whatever that one is; - if the generated name would end up longer, truncate it in such a way that the name is still unique; - when handling the form, verify that the data is indeed shorter or equal the column width. -- Jan Pazdziora Senior Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
