Adding Max Length Validation For a Text Field That is Not Required Still Checks for Empty Value

[qiarie]

When v_max_length validation is added to text fields that do not have v_required set or value explicitly set to false, and no value is set before submitting the form, the field's validation fails.

For text fields not marked as mandatory, extra validation should only apply when there's a value entered, i.e., field is not empty.
