Hi Everyone,

On SAIL form, I am using Paragraph field to Write description. The limit for that field is 170 characters. I want that if user tries to write the charcters more than limit, the paragraph won't allow user to enter more characters. can anybody guide how to do it?

Thanks.

It seems that it might be possible to tweak the SaveInto's in such a way that once the limit is reached, it refuses to save any further characters - however this would require using "refresh after keypress" and it seems that it would be costly in terms of performance.

I suggest looking into what Tim suggests - I've done something similar myself, where the field fails validation if it's over X characters (where X is the limit), and the validation message says something like "The limit is X characters; currently entered: Y characters" (so the user has some gauge on how "over" they are).
