Glen Mazza commented on ROL-1959:
---------------------------------
Noah, if we were to retain the client-side restriction of 20 (it being "fine"
as you write), you'd never need the server-side validation to check the length.
That you would want us to do the latter implies that you would want us to get
rid of the former, especially since you earlier reported at 17:09 that you want
to be able to copy and paste an arbitrarily long string without it being
"munged" (truncated) by the client into 20 spaces. If, as you request, I don't
mention that we already do client-side validation in the JIRA title, and just
mention the server-side validation, that would incorrectly imply that we don't
already do client-side validation (else why ask for server-side?), improperly
inflating the need to do server-side validation as well as making Roller look
kind of bad (as if we're not already doing client-side checks.) If you'd like,
however, I'd be happy to delete this JIRA entirely so we don't have to worry
about its title (I'm thinking of changing it to "Play Ella Fitzgerald music on
Roller startup", myself... :)
