Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.7
  • NetBox version: 2.6.0

Proposed Functionality

Hello,

Currently the description field for an interface is limited to 100 Characters.
I think this limitation could be changed to 255 (255 is the most common limit for a description field).

Regards,
Shugotek
