      I'm opening this one in the name of quite a few MoodleCloud users.

      Recipe:

      1. create (or update) a Label ("Text and media area"), using a title longer than 255 characters
      2. save
      3. see the "Error writing to database" message
      4. click on "More information about this error", land on the link to dmlwriteexception and be slightly more confused
      5. click back twice and see you've lost the (long) content of the form you submitted previously

      A warning, before submitting the form about the title being too long would be very appreciated. This is already done in other modules (page, book, ...).

      While testing this, I found out that strangely, the course edit page silently cuts the input at the max length, but does not give a warning about it, but that would be a different issue.
