String field is taking more than 4000 characters

[Mahendra RC]

Hi All,

I have created a string field with Maxlength value as 4000. But when I am trying to insert more than 4000 character in this string field it is taking the data and saving it in table. As per the requirement it should not allow users to enter more than 4000 characters. Below is the attached screenshot of field accepting more than 4000 characters:

I am using developer instance Jakarta version. I have verified this on 2 jakarta version SN instance.

Can anyone please help me to know how can I achieve this.

Thanks & Regards,

Mahendra Choudhary

A string field with more than 255 characters is created on database side as a mediumtext type and the length restriction is imposed from the platform side rather than database side.

Can you tell me which release of Jakarta you used, I would like to replicate and see if we need to open a problem for this.

Regards,
