Override Max Length on single line text variable

[Cirrus]

Afternoon, is anyone able to confirm if this can be done please. When building a catalog item, is it possible to set a maximum length value on a single line text variable unique to that variable?

I cant change the current dictionary value because of the following warning: The field 'Question' on table 'Question' contains existing data records (3593) that exceed the new length

I did find one post that suggested this could be done by an on load client script, but I havent got it to work, tried question.question_text and current.variables.variable_name

function onLoad() {
setTimeout(function() {
jQuery('input[name="current.variables.variable_name"').attr("maxlength","10");
}, 1000);
}

Hi @Cirrus ,
Have you considered using Service catalog variable attributes.
Hope it solves your query.

Hi @Cirrus ,
If you will set the field "Variable attribute" to "max_length=1000", It will allow the user to enter the input into field till max length of 1000 charater.
If the field "Variable attribute" is not present on your form in default view, just bring it out by configure->form layout option.
