limiting characters

[PK14]

Hello,

I've implemented a catalog onchange client script that effectively limits users to entering a maximum of 10 characters, which is functioning well. Presently, an alert is triggered only when a change or action is performed on the form. However, I'm seeking a solution that prevents users from typing more than 10 characters in the first place. Could you provide guidance on how to achieve this? I want the field to immediately block any further input after reaching the 10-character limit.Thank you for your assistance.

function onChange() {
var field = 'short_description';
var value = g_form.getValue(field);
if (value.length > 10) 
alert('The short description has exceeded the maximum character limit of 10 characters. Please ensure that the text length is within the allowed range.');
return false;
}
}

Regards,

Priyanka

Hi @PK14,

It is not needed to do this with a client script. 

Add a variable attribute: max_length=10

Hi @PK14 ,

You can either use Field validation: Regular Expressions or Add a variable attribute: max_length=10.

Thanks,

HI @PK14,

You can achieve this by using max_length attribute in service catalog variable.

max_length Sets the maximum number of characters allowed in the field. By default, the field accepts long strings of text, several thousand characters. Set the max_length attribute as appropriate for the information that the variable is collecting. For example, to allow for entry of an address, set max_length=200, or other appropriate length.

Applicable variables: Single-line text, Wide single-line text

This worked fine in my case, it will not allow any character to be entered after 10 characters. Refer beow:
