Maxlength

[Vaishali 11]

I have a table string field where I want to set a maxlength of 240 characters. I have done that using the dictionary entry, but I also want to show an error message if it exceeds 240 characters. I have written an onchange client script with showfieldmsg error, but it's not working.

Any suggestions for this?

@Vaishali 11 Could you please post your script here.

@Sandeep Rajput , please find the script below, written on onchange of the field

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

    }

    var line = g_form.getValue('line_description');

    if (line.length!="" && line.length > 240) {

        g_form.showFieldMsg('line_description', 'Line description should not exceed 240 characters.', 'error');

    }

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

}

The line.length will never exceed 240 chars because the limit is 240 chars.

So its not a valid if statement.

Maybe change the line.length > 240 to line.length == 240

and then   g_form.showFieldMsg('line_description', 'Line description cannot not exceed 240 characters.', 'error'); or something like that
