Hi @Amit Dey1 

1. Navigate to the variable of single-line text or wide single line-text
2. Open the Default Value tab
3. Add the variable in Variables of single-line text or wide single line-text
   For example: max_length=255

Hi @Amit Dey1 

Let's put this attribute "max_length=225" into the Variable attributes.

Service Catalog variable attributes

max_length
Sets the maximum number of characters allowed in the field. By default, the field accepts long strings of text, several thousand characters. Set the max_length attribute as appropriate for the information that the variable is collecting. For example, to allow for entry of an address, set max_length=200, or other appropriate length.

Applicable variables: Single-line text, Wide single-line text

Let me know if it works for you.

Cheers,

Tai Vu
