Description
Reasons is a column on sectionGroupCosts that we don't understand too well yet, but in the teaching call app it always had a couple words at most.
Ideally we could change it to a dropdown offering of a list of preset reasons.
SQL error:
Data truncation: Data too long for column 'Reason'

Research direction
Start by locating the BudgetView code and the sectionGroupCosts handling for the reasons/Reason field. Reproduce the reported SQL data-truncation error and inspect how the UI currently accepts reasons; done means the UI respects the backend character limit, potentially through the proposed preset dropdown.
