F5OS VLAN naming length restrictions

I must notice, that there seems to be a length restriction when creating VLANs on F5OS.
I'm allowed to enter long names on F5OS-level without any warnings or errors, but when assigning them to a tenant, the name within the tenant will be truncated if its longer than 31 characters.
It looks like this, means there is a suffix in the format of "-T<VLAN-ID>.0"

On F5OS-level it looks like this:

Is this a normal behavior? Can or will this be fixed?
And are there any other such restrictions for other configuration items?
For your reference, we are running F5OS 1.8.3 and BIG-IP 17.5.1.3.
Thank you!

Regards,
Stefan :)
