Execution Plan group/subgroup names now limited to 30 chars??

I just tried to create a new subgroup in our Execution Plan using a descriptive name.  We've been doing this for years.  Now with 15.72.60.7 I get an error indicating the names can't exceed 30 characters.  Anyone else seeing this?

As you can see, this was not a problem when I created the group immediately above the new one using an earlier version of TestComplete.

I also have no idea where "Load Group" in the message is coming from.  

I'm regretting 'upgrading' to15.72.

    It's a bug in the latest version, and the "Load Group" is most likely referring to the "Add New Load Group" button

    If you modify the .mds file to have long names, it loads fine.

    I suggest you create a support incident. Load group is for load testing. I don’t have latest version to try.

    Are old names still executing currently?

    Editing old names also gives same error message?

      Yes, items in groups with long names will still execute. 
      However, attempting to edit one of the existing longer names results in the same error message.

      I don’t have latest version

      That was a good call on your part.

    Update:  Smartbear support reproduced the issue and suggested downgrading to v15.71 to work around it until there is a fix available.

    I was able to reproduce the issue on my end after adding a group to an existing project suite.

    I went ahead and created an escalation with our operations team regarding this dialog prompt and group character limit. I'll update you here once I receive any new details from the development team. In the meantime, I would suggest downgrade TestComplete to the previous version to work around the issue.
