When creating a new submission, the user is able to enter titles more than 255 characters long.

When he does this, he gets only a simple "Database error occurred".

See [https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/mod/workshop/submission_form.php|submission form code].

Fix: Add a simple rule, like this:

$mform->addRule('title', null, 'maxlength', 255, 'client');
