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.
That's what I was getting at in my original e-mail, that the truncation
is the answer (though based on the other BZ it looks like that's
explicitly not the desired approach).
The question of the channel name length came up related to this since if
Red Hat channels themselves are so close to the limit, customer channels
might be as well. Since we give the extra space for labels, why not
raise name to match that?
