			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>It seems it isn&#039;t too complicated to make account / account types names longer. I&#039;ve changed in MySQL:<br />`0_chart_master`.`account_name` to VARCHAR 255<br />`0_chart_types`.`name` to VARCHAR 255</p><p>and modifications to 2 files, as in attachment.</p><p>Up to now, everything seems to work quite OK. I&#039;d appreciate any feedbacks.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I find the limit of account / account group / account class names (45 characters) too limited for my needs.</p><p>I can understand that longer strings would affect the whole display (forms), but I need to see complete lines at least in in reports.</p><p>Could it be possible to have longer strings available (varchar 255), and just a recommendation to keep the length below 45? We can still limit the sizes of fields where those strings are displayed at the end...</p><p>Or, better - to have 2 names for each account / account group / account class:<br />- one to be used (in the web interface) with &quot;custom&quot; account / account group / account class names, and<br />- another with &quot;official&quot; names (to be used in reports)</p><p>The benefit of the second solution would also be that I can have more descriptive account names (meaning something to me), but can switch to &quot;official&quot; names (if an inspector wants to see it...). Or, even more improved - that those &quot;custom&quot; names are per user (with some defaults, to simplify the managenent, if there are a lot of users with more or less the same wishes...) - so we can put different custom names for different users (anyone sees account / account group names according to his/her preferences...).</p>]]></content>
