Environment

  • NetBox version:

Proposed Functionality

When entering in the modules for our environment there are exceptions that cannot be entered as per the device with out truncating the NAME: Field due to the 50 characters limit. E.g

NAME: "ADSL/VDSL over POTS supporting ADSL1, ADSL2, ADSL2+ and VDSL2 on Slot 0 SubSlot 0",

Increasing the character limit for the name record to 100 would resolve this.

Use Case

Being able to add all inventory items as per it's device.

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

None I am aware of

That looks like a module description rather than a name. The item name should match its unique system identifier.
