see 1120199

Comment 4 sthirugn@redhat.com 2014-08-07 17:04:31 UTC
Verified.

1. Trying to enter more than 255 characters for name - "Name is too long (maximum is 255 characters)"
2. But trying to enter more than 255 characters for value - accepts the value with no warning. (this will be tracked as a new issue - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127853)
