Dear Spring Boot Team,

I am very disappointed that my issue (#43980 ) was closed by @philwebb without allowing me a chance to respond or clarify my concern. The behavior I reported with NotBlank and Size(min) validations has not been properly addressed, and I believe it warrants further discussion.

While I understand that the issue might be related to Jakarta Validation, the closure of the issue without investigating my expected behavior leaves me frustrated. I am still looking for a solution or workaround that ensures NotBlank validation is triggered before Size(min) when the field is empty.

I would appreciate it if this issue could be reopened and reviewed by @philwebb and other team members, such as @snicoll and @wilkinsona , to provide further clarification and assistance.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
