Your error message already gives you the cause of the error: you have existing records that have data in them that exceeds the new length.

Personally, I'm more curious about why you want to limit (especially the description field) to such a length? You will have a lot of complaints about people being unable to fill in the data they need (let alone integrations and such).

instead of it can we write a client script to limit , If yes please help how to proceed with client script

This might work, but why limit it via client script, when you can do it on the dictionary level?

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') 
   {
      return;
   }
   if(newValue.length>70) 
   {
      g_form.showErrorBox("description","You cannot enter more than 70 characters",true);
   }
}

We can use client script, but why you write a code mate, when it can be achived OOTB.
