[QGIS-Developer] Field Name limited to 10 characters for a geopackage

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

Hi Luke -

Running this code in the QGIS Python console:
*
vector_layer = iface.activeLayer()  # Active layer _is_ from GeoPackage
field_name = 'Land Use Category'    # "New_field" changed to "field_name"

new_field = QgsField(field_name, QVariant.String)
vector_layer.dataProvider().addAttributes([new_field])
*

will add an extra column with the name "*Land Use Category*" to the 
GeoPackage layer

Med venlig hilsen / Best regards
