Hi @Amit Dey1 

Let's try a simple OnChange Script.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }

   if(newValue.length >= 255){
		g_form.showFieldMsg('short_description', 'Maximum 255 characters', 'error');
   }
   
}

Or you can simply define a help text in Annotation.

Cheers,

The onChange script only works when the user moves out of the field.

I would go for an annotation to indicate the max amount.

for that you need onChange but as mentioned by Peter it would work only when user clicks somewhere outside the variable
