Limit the Number of Characters in a Variable

[vcaracci75]

When you create a variable for a requested Item, is there a way to set a limit to  the number of characters that can be entered into the field?

You will need to write a onChange client script on that field to limit the characters.

You may find many solution on the community for this, an example you can use script like below with onChange() client script.

var str = newValue; // var str = g_form.getValue('variable_name')
var len = str.length;
if(len> 10 && len< 5)
{
g_form.setValue('variable_name','');
alert('Please enter atleast 5 and maximum of 10');
}

Or you can Click on configure variable. Goto default Value tab-->in variable attribute field add below.

max_length=40 // OR set the limit value which you want to set.
