The easiest way would be to set the attribute of the variable as max_length=somevalue

Doesn't work.  It never saves.

Very lame that this happens.  It's absurd that you can't set max_length, and that you'd need to rely on an onSubmit script to handle it.

So, I personally get the maxlength attribute set by manipulating the DOM via an SP widget:

I have a Single Line Text field named "upc" as a Catalog Item Variable.
