  ****************************************************************
  EGL Text Form Editor allows new constant fields to be added
  on top of other fields. This was occurring because the
  maximum length for a new field has not been restricted by
  existence of next field.
  

Problem conclusion

• To fix this developer introduced Maximum allowed length
  which is the maximum length not producing any overlap on
  next field. So the length has to be less than or equal to
  maximum allowed length.
  

Temporary fix
