Textfield max length still allows saving page past max

[SamC]

As the title says, I created a text field, set the maximum character count to 220. But I just noticed one of the fields is like 330 characters and I am still allowed to save the page.

Am I missing something? I thought this would kick up an error until the character count was under 220. Thanks for any input (pardon the pun!).

Hi @SamC - are you talking about a plain textarea field, rather than a text field?

See my Github issue here: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/96

If there is something else I am missing, please feel free to comment on that issue.

Hi @adrian, doing my best here but on a phone. Logged into my demo site and got a screenshot. Nice to see the admin works well on a mobile

Please see image, it is indeed a textarea (the summary field) and I have max length set to 220 characters. This is not enforced when I go over that, the page saves as normal whatever the number of characters (tested on win10 chrome).

Perhaps reply there if you want to discuss with him further.

Hi @adrian that's great, thanks for the info. I think it makes sense actually, no discussion needed.
