Hi @torhoehn. Thank you for your contribution!
Here are some useful tips on how you can test your changes using Magento test environment.

• @magento run all tests - run or re-run all required tests against the PR changes
• @magento run <test-build(s)> - run or re-run specific test build(s)
  For example: @magento run Unit Tests

<test-build(s)> is a comma-separated list of build names.

Allowed build names are:

1. Database Compare
2. Functional Tests CE
3. Functional Tests EE
4. Functional Tests B2B
5. Integration Tests
6. Magento Health Index
7. Sample Data Tests CE
8. Sample Data Tests EE
9. Sample Data Tests B2B
10. Static Tests
11. Unit Tests

This line also requires modification: Line 688 in validation.js.

Update: There’s an additional line that needs attention in the same file: Line 694.

[torhoehn]

This one needs to be changed as well: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.4-develop/lib/web/mage/validation.js#L688

Thanks for pointing out, I changed that file as well.

I will leave this PR as simple as it is, to hopefully get it merged fast. I will create another PR one on top of it, to make the values configurable (magento/community-features#333).

@torhoehn, you also need to update the error message mentioned by @Morgy93 earlier.

I agree that it needs to be improved for admin users, but should it also be enforced for clients?

@sprankhub Ah sorry, I will change that as well.

@ihor-sviziev I will check that. But to keep it as simple as possible I would like to create another PR for that, because I don't know how many changes will be needed for that.

Hello @torhoehn,

Thanks for the collaboration!

I think we can cover this change with an automated test, so please do the needful and also please fix the failed tests.

Thanks
