It was decided to increase the maxLength attribute on the text fields to 1000,000 chars. The error message string: "rule.maxlength.maxlength" in pieforms.php was updated to read: "This field must be at most %d characters long. Please revise it or try splitting this over multiple instances." and '1' was added to the string so it gets picked up as revised for language translation.
I was using this base-64 image encoder which may be useful for testing: https://www.base64-image.de/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

This rule validation is not really required because the DB field that it inserting into is a 'Text' type. Which basically means it's almost unlimited. Postgres 7.1+ does have an upper limit at 1 Gb for a Text field. Mahara supports Postgres 9+. I do think it's safe to remove the maxlength rule for the Text, Note and Annoation fields.
