max_length argument for the CharField is not respected through shell

[Ittach1]

In this example,

class country(models.Model):

name = models.CharField(max_length=80)
code = models.CharField(max_length=3)

The code field has a maximum length of 3, but through the shell, the length seems to be exceeded without throwing a validation error. But from the Django Admin portal, the character length appears to work as expected.

I've taken screenshots to show the existence of the bug.

The screenshot displays how the max_length is exceeded, but a validation error is not raised.

Model.save() doesn't call model validation, see #34061.

It is the same behaviour for .create (..)

Replying to Ittach1:

Yes, you have to call full_clean() manually.
