Description

If you have a structure e.g. from you LDAP-server which you need to import into TYPO3, you might run into the problem that the field "title" of the table be_groups is too short. The 20 characters it has by default are too less. I would suggest raising it to 40. I have already changed the neccessary files to make this change - a patch is attached.

This is no bug. To have no limits at all we would need:

title mediumtext NOT NULL,

I don't think that an (almost) unlimited size would be a solution, but 20 characters is definitely too short, esp. when you have to adhere a special naming-scheme for e.g. group-names. 40 could be a compromise, more would make the names too long to be clearly visible in the list-view.

+1 from me to raise the limit or remove it at all.

I ran into a problem while importing group records via eu_ldap extension from our ActiveDirectory. Groups with a longer name got cropped. And in the next import run, no group with the original title is found - and therefore groups with a long title got imported multiple times.
