Commodity 24 character limit

[Dan Andersson]

Hi,

Can someone please add a plugin/setting to customize this limit (get this added to the v2 branch and released)? If you want payment for this work, you could PM me.

I need a higher limit (around 100 chars) to keep the commodity name unique (using prefixes) across not just brokers, but also subaccounts within same broker. Not to mention some actual parts of the commodity name can be quite long already (e.g. "230915P00177500" for options).

Thanks,

Dan

Why would you encode that in the commodity name? You can add an account name for each broker, and als for subaccounts, or use met a-data.
