Cant add any more fields if 60 of one type UDEF on company tab added: An unexpected error occurred

Status: Reported

Steps to Reproduce
Create  60 UDEF fields on company card. 
Make sure all of them are of following type: Number, Date Check box or List.
Try to add one more item.
Observe: you get an error message right away: Unable to find a available field in the database..

Max number of UDEF limitation kicks in if you use all 60 fields of same type on company only, so you are not allowed to proceed and add different type of udefs on company card at all.

Expected: to be able to add  more fields of different type, as text,  without error message, even if you maxed out on a specific type on company tab. 

Comments
This is due to old restrictions in the way this system is built. Will be replaced by newer system for custom fields in the future.

The problem here is not the limitation itself, but no possibility to create any other field type even if the limit for those was not reached (short text, long text, decimal). If you have reached 60 fields of type number, date, check-box and list you get the error, but actually you should be able to create short text, long text and decimal fields. I suspect because by default you have type "Number" set when creating new field.

The system see, that there is already limit reached for type "Number" and gives an error. 

Solution probably would be to make type by default empty instead of Number.
