cPanel now supports 16 character usernames, but trying to add an existing account with more than 8 characters results in Blesta error.
The username must be between 1 and 8 characters in length.
Per Cpanel,
For each new account, you must choose a username that contains 16 characters or less. Also, the first eight characters must be unique on the system to prevent issues with database prefixing and account transfers.

cPanel now supports 16 character usernames, but trying to add an existing account with more than 8 characters results in Blesta error.
The username must be between 1 and 8 characters in length.
Per Cpanel,
https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Create+a+New+Account
Proposed fix:
Extend the field to accept up to 16 characters, but validate the first 8 are unique.
In the meantime, is there a hotfix so I can override the 16 character limit? I need to start billing those accounts.
