Hi,

how to limit the character on the multi line text catalog variable?

@Mada11 

you will have to write onChange client script on that variable and validate

you cannot give anything in variable attributes in catalog

Hi Ankur,

Tried this but it doesnot work;

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}
var currentLength = newValue.length;
if (currentLength > 10) {

newValue = newValue.substring(0, 10);
g_form.setValue("name", newValue);
g_form.showFieldMsg("name", "Maximum entry is 10 characters.!",'error');
}
}

what debugging did you do?

Update as this to hide the field message whenever onchange runs

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
	g_form.hideFieldMsg('name');
    var currentLength = newValue.length;
    if (currentLength > 10) {
        newValue = newValue.substring(0, 10);
        g_form.setValue("name", newValue);
        g_form.showFieldMsg("name", "Maximum entry is 10 characters.!", 'error');
    }
}
