Charfield max length error.

[hardcase]

Hello

I have the following bug:

“value too long for type character varying(20)”

It appears when I am trying to create entry in model with the following field:

boat_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True, db_index=True, verbose_name="Boat model", help_text="Please input boat model", )
As you can see max_length restriction here is 50 symbols, but error is appear on 20 plus. I have tried to change this max_length in database(postrgee), to change it by command :
ALTER TABLE boats_boatmodel ALTER COLUMN boat_name TYPE VARCHAR(50)
to change Charfielt to Textfield
to delete this field, then migrate, then add it again, then migrate – no effect
to change max_length in models -no effect

Thanks for the report, however it is some issue in your app not a bug in Django itself. Please use one of support channels.
