Hi All,

 

I want to make character length of a string field of at least 40 character . Is there any way configure it without scripting or we have to approach through script ?

@1_DipikaD 

on string field in dictionary you can use max_length to allow max characters

but nothing OOTB is present for minimum length

you will require onChange client script for this.

Hi @1_DipikaD,
You can set the maximum character length in the Dictionary for that field. However, if you also want to ensure the field contains at least 40 characters, you’ll need to add an onChange client script on field to enforce that.

It will be like mixture of onChanage and onSubmit client script . But not sure if it is fine to pursue or not .

@1_DipikaD 

then either use onchange or onsubmit client script.

@1_DipikaD ,

 

You cannot enforce a minimum length constraint declaratively (OOB) for a String field, you’ll need to use scripting (for example, a Client Script onChange or onSubmit) to check value.length and throw an error or prevent submission if it’s below 40 characters....
