Relax Account.name max_length restriction

[jordanmkoncz]

Currently, the Account.name field is defined as name = models.CharField(max_length=50). Assuming there is no particular reason why the max_length is restricted to 50 characters, could we increase this to max_length=255?

In my case, I'm wanting to create some Accounts with names that include a UUID value (generated using uuid.uuid4) which is 36 characters long by itself, making it hard to add other relevant content to the name field.

Hi Jordan, Thanks for raising this. Yep, this can and should definitely happen. Do you mind opening a PR with the model change and associated migration?
