Upload Error: `Data too long for column 'Description' at row 1`

**Describe the bug**

Trying to upload an asset with a `description` of longer than 255 characters will throw error:

```
Upload Error: Please Retry - "DataError: 1406 (22001): Data too long for column 'Description' at row 1"
```

**Possible solutions**

1. Change datatype in MySQL to `longtext` instead of `varchar(255)` (already done for pipelines)
2. Trim the description to 254 characters and append the ellipsis character (`…`) at the end

Option 2 would be beneficial to keep the UI featured cards more tidy.
Option 1 would require additional UI changes to trim the description on the featured cards
