Hello,
I'm interesting in solving this!

But I'm wondering how to do this.

Should I create a new member variable for FormFieldData like:

  field->data_val_length_max = data_val_length_max;


Or compare it between max_length and then copy the max or min like:

  field->max_length = MaxOrMin(input_element->MaxLength(), data_val_length_max)

This is pretty interesting! We've seen a number of cases where the maxlength would be 12 but the site would truncate to 10 for example.

I think in general keeping the smallest is what would be most useful to us, at least for Autofill. My only worry is the quality of that data. For example, I would't want to override a maxlength of 10 with a data_val_... of 0. I really don't know if that happens in the wild though.

battre@ do you have a preference in regards to Password Generation?

Yes, I was also thinking of keeping the smallest for password generation.

My thought was to go with field->max_length = Min(input_element->MaxLength(), data_val_length_max) but you raise a good point about abuse. WDYT? Should we go for field->data_val_length_max = data_val_length_max;?

+nepper as this is would lead to a user facing change.

Could we crowdsource this value (the length of data most people enter)? It would solve a lot of cases.

Another common one is setting autocomplete="cc-exp" (MM/YYYY) but in reality expecting MM/YY. Autofill will only do the right thing if the website sets maxlength="5".

Crowdsourcing is another interesting approach. +rogerm@ for his thoughts on that.
