Error when renaming or importing or creating an object in v24 with more than 255 characters

Issue/Introduction

In v24, an object's Title field may contain up to 512 UTF-8 characters. However, long titles cause a problem for the Rename dialog box (and also for the Import).

Click on an object with a long (>255 character) title, choose Rename, and then just click OK. An error message will appear:

An unexpected error occurred. Further details are available in the logfiles.

The AWI log will show that the AWI is imposing the old v21 limit of 255 characters:

[ERROR] ERRR [com.uc4.webui.common.errorhandling.Safe] - Error Dialog: Title too long (255):
