How to make character limit max 1000 in Multi Line text variable.

[Brijmohan]

Hi All,

I want to set character limit maximum 1000 on one Multi Line text variable. I have used max_length=1000 in variable attribute but it didn't worked. I have also used one client script found on community that also didn't worked. It is just showing the error message when limit crossed 1000 but I want to restrict user when it crossed 1000. 

User should not be able to type more that 1000 char. 

Please suggest on this . Thanks in advance!

The attribute doesn’t work on the multiline fields. You can develop client script that will check the character limit. You can refer to https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/sandiego-platform-administration/page/administer/reference-pages/reference/r_FieldTypes.html
