Display characters left in string field on New form

[Srinivas Balusu]

Hi,

I am just eager to check if there is a property / attribute that I can use to display the characters left in a string field. Something like below.

As i Type in something it should display '500 characters Remaining'

I think you'd have to write something pretty custom to make that happen. Unfortunately there's no property for it.

In Helsinki, there is a system property (glide.ui.textarea.character_counter) that will enable it for text areas (not single line string fields)
