There are two regressions from Luci to gluon-web regarding the maxlength datatype restrictions:
A) There is no more live feedback when starting to exceed the maximum allowed length. The only failure feedback happens after hitting the "Save" button. Luci gave feedback immediately with the first character which exceeded the allowed length.
B) The feedback given after unsuccessful submission only shows a red background for the text field. There is no feedback regarding what actually went wrong.
