I'm try to use `max` rule set to 2000 in `textarea`, but I put more than 2000 character the validation is not work for other input fields and the **page reload with empty input value** the problem still even when I try the number of character less then 2000, when I hit add with empty `textarea` the required validate is work, I had try also to change max to size and still same problem.

I want to validate `textarea` with old input value back in next request and if number of character more then 2000 display the error message.
I can use `javascript` or `maxlength` attribute in html but want to do it from server side. 

**The validation failed for all input when `textarea` have 974 characters**
