Originally created by @Solvik on GitHub (Sep 6, 2019).

Proposed Changes

I'd like to extend the size of InventoryItem name attribute, see here.

Justification

I'm reporting the local hardware of servers using InventoryItem. Such as RAID Cards, Memory DIMM, Motherboard and such.
I'm reporting the name of DIMM memory like DIMM DDR4 Synchronous Registered (Buffered) 2400 MHz (0.4 ns) (16.0GB)

Since the size is currently limited to 50 chars, I'd like to raise this size to a more appropriate one, say 128 chars ?

If validated (feature and size), I can propose a PR.

FYI item names must be unique to the device/parent item in which they are installed. The above is a description that's likely to be identical for each installed module; its name would be something like DIMM1.

Name is not unique in the model
And there's no description field

For the uniqueness I'm using the serial field or the asset field
And everything is limited to 50 chars, at some point I need to push useful data and not leave details out of an application as useful as netbox is.

Name is not unique in the model

It is part of a unique set:

class InventoryItem(ComponentModel):
    ...
    class Meta:
        unique_together = ['device', 'parent', 'name']

That's because parent is None in my case
