limit the max char for Dropdown list

[adobe_learner]

How is it possible to limit the editing of a drop-down list, if the drop down list is configured as editable. Thank you.

There is nothing exposed in the UI to do that. You may be abel to do it through script.

How to do it in script? Is it possible stop the user from entering once the max number of character is reached? Thanks...

Can't be done in script .... the events that fire when the dropdown is being typed into do not work the same way.

The only way I can get this is using the exit event add this javascript code:

Where 5 is the length of the string that you will allow. The user can type in a long string, then it will warn them and truncate to the required length.

Thank you. In this way the user can happily enter as many characters as they like and upon exit then the words will be truncated.
