I’m try to use max rule set to 2000 in textarea, but I put more than 2000 character the validation is not work for other input fields and the page reload with empty input value the problem still even when I try the number of character less then 2000, when I hit add with empty textarea the required validate is work, I had try also to change max to size and still same problem.

I want to validate textarea with old input value back in next request and if number of character more then 2000 display the error message.
I can use javascript or maxlength attribute in html but want to do it from server side.

The validation failed for all input when textarea have 974 characters

Try This, You Must Add Of Aliases STRING, Because Max Detected For Size Of File. Good Luck, Please UP Button If Helping Your Problem :).
```
$rules = [
    'Account_Number' => ['required', 'numeric'],
    'Account_Name' => ['required', 'string'],
    'email' => ['required', 'email', 'max:20'],
    'Date' => ['required', 'date_format:Y-m-d'],
    'problem_descrip' => ['required', 'string', 'min:1', 'max:2000'], //Add string here
    'comment' => ['nullable', 'string', 'required_if:Sovled,1', 'min:0', 'max:2000'], // something
    'Sovled' => ['nullable', 'numeric', new Checkbox($request->get('comment'), $request->get('Sovled'))]
];

It looks like a session problem, try changing session driver from cookie to file in .env
```
SESSION_DRIVER=file
```
