String Length of db_get_beam_section_name()

mitch.greenberg
db_get_beam_section_name() is not documented. It seems to truncate the returned names to 32 characters. Can this be confirmed?
 
I set the value using elementprops_modify() through the property_data string (max 256 per docs).
 
If the case of character limit, is there an alternate method to extract the beam section name.
 
Thx. Mitch.

    The name is initially set with "I set the value using elementprops_modify() through the property_data string (max 256 per docs)." The name to set to is provided from our external beam library.
     
    I guess this as a general function supports different targets? It is not surprising that the name length is 31/32 like group names.
     
    We have found workaround by stripping some trailing zeros out of the name parsing. We must live with the 31 character limit I guess, like with group names.
     
    Thx.
