What’s happening?
Customers are unable to create projects with names exceeding 20 characters in the PMA module, receiving an error message indicating that "the record already exists."
Reason:
The limitation on the project ID or hierarchy name field is by design, as the string size is restricted to 20 characters. When the character count exceeds this limit, the input is truncated.

Resolution:
Since this is a customer-specific scenario, it is recommended to increase the length of the Extended Data Type (EDT) for the Project ID via extension. However, if this adjustment is made, thorough testing across the PMA module is necessary to ensure that no functionality is broken.
