Universal Editor does not enforce “Maximum number of items” constraint from Content Fragment model

Hello Everyone,

 

We have observed an inconsistency between the Content Fragment Editor and the Universal Editor regarding enforcement of Content Fragment model constraints.

A multi-value field  in our Content Fragment model is configured with Maximum number of items = 3.

  • In the Content Fragment Editor, this constraint is respected and authors are prevented from adding more than three entries.
  • In the Universal Editor, the same field allows adding a fourth item, and the value is persisted without any validation error.

 

After saving from the Universal Editor, reopening the fragment shows all four values stored in the repository.

This suggests that the Universal Editor does not currently enforce the max items constraint defined in the Content Fragment model.

Please confirm:

  1. Whether this behavior is expected or a known issue
  2. If there are plans to align Universal Editor validation with Content Fragment model constraints
  3. Whether any server-side validation or configuration is recommended to prevent this
