    Hello ,

    Since it is a rich text field it collects your data with the characters such as <p>,</p>.

    so try using the below code.

    you might want to add separate with <br> also if you want to avoid counting any blank returns.

    Hopefully this is helpful.

    a!localVariables(
  local!richText,
  local!onlyText: if(
    a!isNullOrEmpty(local!richText),
    {},
    split(local!richText, "</p>")
  ),
  local!last: split(local!onlyText, "<p>"),
  local!textwithSpaces: tostring(
    remove(
      local!last,
      wherecontains(null(), local!last)
    )
  ),
  local!textWithNoSpaces: tostring(
    stripwith(
      stripwith(local!textwithSpaces, " "),
      ";"
    )
  ),
  {
    richTextFieldWithTables(
      label: "My Text Field",
      richTextSaveInto: local!richText,
      richTextValue: local!richText
    ),
    a!richTextDisplayField(
      label: "Count",
      value: a!richTextItem(text: len(local!textWithNoSpaces))
    )
  }
)

    You can add a validation using the local variable which has the count and then write a validation accordingly.
