Hello Anant, thanks for the email. You're correct that the GUI does not
currently validate the config fields. The definitions are often a bit
vague, but we've been looking into things we can do to support this better.
There's an open bug [1] you can monitor as well.

If I'm following your email, there's also the issue that the charm in
question allows you to set the password via a charm config setting, and it
also provides a webui setting from itself. Those are not kept in sync. This
is an interesting problem that we might be able to look at helping charm
authors work to sync this data. Do you recall which charm you were using?
