Hello.
DataSource definition
REST POST request
In myTable I have a single column defined to take maximum 3 characters.
All works well in the UI, because the FormItem I create related to the datasource field myField will accept only 3 characters at maximum.
The problem is that if I send a REST request targeting that datasource, I will end up with an ugly DB exception, since I cannot store in the column more than 3 characters.
To make sure this does not happen I need to change my field definition in the DS to
The question is, couldn't smartgwt have such implicit validator when defining the length of the field?

dataSource:"myDS",
operationType:"add",
data:{
myField: "abcd"
}
