Summary

0018822: Data is truncated instead of being validated if its size is greater than the field length

Description

Fields in OB have a length attribute, and columns have one also. It seems that this length is not being currently used to prevent the user from entering too much information in most types of references. Instead, the data is truncated before being saved, so that the save action always "succeeds", but sometimes data is lost.

Recently there has been a change (changeset b5b81e79c0fd) which has changed the way this worked in some specific references, in form view. However, a deep review should be done for this, and validators should be added so that either the system doesn't allow the user to input too much information, or it complains before saving when the problem happens.

Steps To Reproduce

For example, currently, in grid view, a text field truncates the data if it is too long. However, in form view, this doesn't happen.
