64 character limit still there with 2.4.0 upgrade

[hyeteck]

I upgraded from 2.2.5 to 2.4.0 but i'm still getting an error when trying to add a node with a hostname longer than 64 characters via the API.

This is the response i'm getting from the Server when making the necessary API call.

 {
  "code": -32500,
  "message": "Application error.",
  "data": "Value \"'xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-x.xxxx-xxxx.xxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx'\" is too long for field \"dns\" - 72 characters. Allowed length is 64 characters."
}
 on request:
 {
  "method": "host.create",
  "params": {
    "host": "xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-x.xxxx-xxxx.xxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx",
    "groups": [

        "dns": "xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-x.xxxx-xxxx.xxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx",

      }

}

Any idea why the character restrictions are still present? The release notes at the following link show that the limit has been increased from 64 to 128.

Well, the error message complains about:
"Value [...] is too long for field \"dns\" - 72 characters. Allowed length is 64 characters."

and the mentioned change was:
Increased size of "Host name", "Visible host name" and "Proxy name" fields to 128 characters.

Host name, Visible host name, but not DNS name.

Admittedly I share your expectation to have DNS filed being updated alongside of the technical host name.
To me this is can be considered as a bug, so you possibly want to create a bug report - in case there is none appropriate already.

Thanks, i've opened a bug report.
