TITLE:
"Adding Your Own Subscription" field "Username" allows unlimited length
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Onyx 17.8 MU #50
CentOS 7.6
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The "username" of a subscription, aka "Web Hosting Access" user name and "FTP Access" user name is normally limited to 16 characters. The limit correctly applies by a JavaScript "onkeypress" (or similar) event when editing user names in the "FTP Access" or "Web Hosting Access" pages. It used to apply, too, when creating a new subscription.

Now however, probably since MU #50, when creating a new subscription, the user name can be infinitely long. A user is actually created, the name stored with a longer lenth in the Plesk database. When one tries to edit the name later, it can only be shortened, because in the normal "Web Hosting Access" and "FTP Access" dialogs user names still can only be 16 characters long.​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a subscription.
Type in any user name of any length desired.​
ACTUAL RESULT:
It is possible to type in very long user names and these are actually processed.​
EXPECTED RESULT:
The field should limit entries to 16 characters as it did before during the past years of the GUI.​
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:
