You need to specify maxlength and minlength variables.
<field
property="myField"
depends="minlength, maxlength, integer">
<arg0 key="sampleApp.myField.label"/>
<arg1 key="sampleApp.myField.minLen" name="minlength" />
<arg1 key="sampleApp.myField.maxLen" name="maxlength" />
<var>
<var-name>minlength</var-name><var-value>10</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name><var-value>20</var-value>
</var>
Alternatively, if its an integer field you could use the intRange validator
instead
<field
property="myField"
depends="integer,intRange">
<arg0 key="sampleApp.myField.label"/>
<arg1 key="${var:min}" resource="false" />
<arg2 key="${var:max}" resource="false" />
<var>
<var-name>min</var-name><var-value>10</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>max</var-name><var-value>20</var-value>
</var>
