Limit Text Length

Unknown

Is it possible to limit the number of character added to a field?

We have a couple of ways to limit the text length.

You can use the maximum length property under Behaviour for a text-box.

Another way is to create a Validation Rule on your form that checks the text length. Ive attached an example for you.

For more information on Validation Rules, please refer [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/creating-a-form-validation-rule]Creating a Validation Rule[/url] and [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/applying-form-validation-rule]Applying a Validation Rule[/url].

I know this thread is a year old, but it looks like the Maximum Length option is only for textboxes -- it is not there for "text area" form controls

Yes, you are right. The "Text Area" or the "Text Box Multi Line" form controls dont have built-in character number limits. But you can make a validation rule that checks the string in a multiline text box (Length equals), just like the example in the previous reply.
