hi experts,

I set "Date" max length is 4, but in form layout it can input 15 ,why?

Hi there,

You are correct.
The max length simply does not work on Platform UI Integer type fields.

what can I do to restrict a Integer type fields.

Example Client Script code:

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

	var test = g_form.getValue('u_date');
	
	if(test.length > 4) {
		g_form.showErrorBox('u_date', 'ERROR!!!');
	}

}

Maybe also add getMessage to internationalize your error message.

g_form.showErrorBox('u_date', getMessage('Error message'));
