             Summary: Creating/Updating a Delivery Service via API has length constraint on displayName of 48, but no such constraint in UI code
                 Key: TC-500
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TC-500
             Project: Traffic Control
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Traffic Ops API
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Robert Scrimo


Creating/Updating a Delivery Service via API code has length constraint on `displayName` of 48, but there is no such constraint in the UI code so any user can update the value to more than 48 characters.  The Database field is Text which is described as "variable unlimited length" in the Postgres documentation.  However, this may be limited by the GUI field if such a constraint exists.

NOTE:  The GET methods for /api/1.2/deliveryservices does not check the length on the `displayName` field, so, it will return whatever is in the database for `displayName`.

Work Around: Upon getting the Delivery Service information from the API, in order to update/create the Delivery Service via the API you will need to limit the number of characters in the `displayName` to 48.

NOTE: Other versions of Traffic Ops may be affected.
