MaxLength API Not Working

Created on 27 March 2023, almost 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Adding Maxlength to my custom form is not working

Steps to reproduce

I added

'#description' => $this->t("My title."),
            '#maxlength_js' => TRUE,
            '#attributes' => [
              'data-maxlength' => 62,
              'maxlength_js_label' => $this->t('@remaining characters left.'),
            ],

To my form field. It shows up on my form, and even counts down as I type. However if I go over my limit the counter goes negative. I can still save the form and the entire string is saved no matter how long.

Any idea what could be wrong here?

Looks like if I add '#maxlength_js_enforce' => TRUE, to my field's attributes it works.
