Second is there a way that we could alert users that enter data via work request

Second is there a way that we could alert users that enter data via work requests or through tasks that they’ve exceeded the field character limit. Users are having issues with process getting suspended due to too many characters entered in certain fields as they don't get a warning to indicate that the field size has been exceeded.

    It sounds like you are still using the old portal interface? You can use JavaScript to validate the field length but it is not recommended anymore. Another option is to test the pv value using the len() function and loop back if the value is too long and display a message to the user.

    Ideally though you should be migrating to Tempo where this type of dynamic form is simple and native in SAIL.
