Indeed for multi line text max_chars attribute does not work. Also you can't apply Regex validation, so also that is not an option 😞
Can't think of good alternatives for limiting multi line text that quickly.

Hi there,
For a single line text type variable, out-of-the-box the character limit is huge. What exactly, I haven't tested, though way bigger than the 255 characters what you would expect with fields.
Where is this in the Docs? It's not 🙂
Kind regards,
