Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a way to set a character limit on copy coming through from a personalised piece of content so it can be truncated

For instance
<%= targetData.Description %> will return:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit

Where the ideal will be for it to return:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...

Any help would be appreciated

You can use textarea max length (maxlength="50") this is in the HTML property best of HTML

You can add is CSS and can be utilized in all over HTML

Hi @andyhu5 ,

If you need to truncate after a specific number of character you can use slice.

If you need to truncate after a specific word then you need a combination of index and slice.

Thanks,

David
