    Description

      It should either truncate the data, or show a pretty warning message, instead of the stack trace.

      Reproduction steps

      1. Login
      2. Go to the user profile
      3. edit the profile
      4. set a very long content in the company field (e.g, python3 -c 'print("a"*5000)') (the actual length depends on the database)
      5. click save

      Expected

      The user receive a nice message explaining that the company field content is too large.

      Actual

      An technical error is presented to the user, with no detail of the cause of the error.
