How can we add a character limit in our text fields? Is this even possible?

Hi,

unfortunately that is not possible. Having limitation and validation possibilities on custom fields would be something really, really helpful.

Perhaps you can create another idea for this, to give a hint to Adobe.

I needed something similar recently but had to just fall back on the LEN({value}) expression in another field which gave the user an idea of how many characters they were using.

Not really a fix but guided the requester.

Hey @andykent, this is a good workaround. Is it possible to add an IF statement into the LEN function?

For example, if LEN > 10, add text "Too long". If LEN < 4, add text "Too short".

Sure, you could try:

IF(LEN({name}) <40, "Good!", "Too Many!")

'<40' being the character limit although you may want to play around with this as 41 may be the number you need to return the desired result.
