Was this ever answered/resolved? I'm looking to do the same thing. I see that there was a workaround for this in 1.8 but the fields have changed. Something is still truncating the new test case names.

Reference for 1.8: http://www.teamst.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3093

To allow 255 characters to be typed in to the UI:
Edit: input_dimensions.conf
[tcNew]
TESTCASE_NAME_SIZE=50
TESTCASE_NAME_MAXLEN=255

To allow 255 characters to be stored into mssql:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].nodes_hierarchy
ALTER COLUMN name [nvarchar](255)

I did it under testlink 1.9.7 (test case name lenth increasing from 100 to 125 carac.)

1. Mysql : alter table testlink.nodes_hierarchy modify name VARCHAR(125);
2. input_dimensions.conf : TESTCASE_NAME_MAXLEN=125
3. const.inc.php : $g_field_size->testcase_name = 125;

It seems that the TESTCASE_NAME_MAXLEN is dedicated to limit the length in the form.
The $g_field_size limits the length while importing
