You could add a Validator #5

It would be nice if one could also specify a special rule four such fields. Now I have to use safe for such fields.

E.g.:

public function rules() {
    return [
        [['my_field'], 'serialized', 'max' => 10000],
    ];
}

With max it could be checked that the string won't get truncated.

Often you need to serialize an attribute not from the POST, so validation rules are not the place to configure serialization. Also, I think it’s not good idea to check length of serialized data using validation rules. These rules are for user‘s input validation, not for internal constraints checking.

Okay, I see and I think you're right.
