How can I limit users from typing more than 40 characters in a field?

zabrina · ‎10-13-2016

One issue we're having is that some users are typing the actual description in the 'short description' or 'request title' field. This information is then cut off when the form is submitted because of the 40 character limit. The field should not allow them to type more than 40 characters. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

I think I tried two different forms. It is actually a variable. Can it still be edited?

Hi zabrina

What is the type of the variable? Is it a single line text or multi line text? Which release are you on?

Wide single line text and Helsinki.
