Field length limit logic is incorrect

Created on 24 June 2025, 4 months ago

The logic for field lengths is incorrect, e.g. setting a field to a max size of 64kb results in an error that says the value can't be more than 4kb.

Add a JSON "text" field to a content type, set the limit to 64kb.
Create a node of that content type, paste in Drupal's composer.json content.

Expected behavior:
* The node saves.

Actual behavior:
* This error is shown: JSON: the text may not be longer than 4096 characters.

Fix the field length logic.

Fix the field length logic.
Add test coverage.

Field lengths will work correctly.

This needs an update script to fix existing fields that have the wrong size.
