Increase group description length from 250 chars to at least 500
Problem to solve
Similar to #29664 (closed).
Group description field is limited to 250 characters. This isn't long enough to provide an informative description that lives outside of git repository.
We should consider increasing the limit to at least 500 characters.
Proposal
- Add migration to achieve #416146 (comment 1586127751)
- Consider removing or increasing the limit configured in app/views/groups/settings/_general.html.haml
- Update the documentation (add version history note and change 250 to 500 characters)
