firewall: CLI description limit of 256 characters cause config upgrade issues
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

From https://forum.vyos.io/t/firewall-description-character-limit-in-1-4-0-epa1

We should either introduce an alternative XML building block without that limitation or truncate the description in migration scripts. From a user perspective option 1 would be the better choice.

While at it having a description for a firewall rule within the firewall itself thats longer than 256 is just "wrong" IMHO aka "you are doing it wrong".
