[Bug 1742590] Re: Text/Note/Annotation Maxlength rule is unnecessary
It was decided to increase the maxLength attribute on the text fields to 1000,000 chars.
The error message string: "rule.maxlength.maxlength" in pieforms.php was updated to read: "This field must be at most %d characters long. Please revise it or try splitting this over multiple instances." and '1' was added to the string so it gets picked up as revised for language translation.
I was using this base-64 image encoder which may be useful for testing:

Title:
Text/Note/Annotation Maxlength rule is unnecessary
Status in Mahara:
In Progress
Bug description:
Mahara: 17.10.1
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
DB: Postgres
Browser: FF
When inserting a base-64 encoded image into a comment on a form, the
user is presented with the following error:
'This field must be 8192 characters long.'
This rule validation is not really required because the DB field that
it inserting into is a 'Text' type. Which basically means it's almost
unlimited.
Postgres 7.1+ does have an upper limit at 1 Gb for a Text field.
Mahara supports Postgres 9+.
I do think it's safe to remove the maxlength rule for the Text, Note
and Annoation fields.
Please let me know your thoughts.
