2396686 - We can't put over 42 Chinese/Japanese Characters in nickname field

Symptom

  • We have configured a "nickname" field in EP portlet for user to edit it by themselves.
  • The field definition in data model is like:

    <standard-element id="nickname" max-length="128" required="false" matrix-filter="false">
    <label>Nickname</label>

    </standard-element>

  • Via UI user can enter 128 English characters per limitation, however they can only input 42 Chinese characters at most.
  • In contrast, if "custom01" field with max-length="128" is configured, no matter English or Chinese characters can contain 128 characters at most.

    <standard-element id="custom01" max-length="128" required="false" matrix-filter="false">
    <label>Customizable Field 1</label>

    </standard-element>
