Character Limit on Forms

Description - Be able to set a character limit in single line text field or paragraph text field. 

Why is this feature important to you - We have certain assets that we can only have a certain number of characters when using the single line text field or paragraph text field option in the form. To be able to set the limit would be helpful. We currently use the instructions to let them know not to go over, but it's not always followed. 

How would you like the feature to work - When the system admin is creating the form, they would be able to change the character limit if they need to for single line text field or paragraph text field. Otherwise it would default to the standard if no limit is needed. 

Current Behaviour - There is no character limit on custom forms and having users follow the instructions is not always working.

We have certain copy limitations for social post headlines and descriptions.  Workfront fields allow users to exceed that character limit which in turn breaks our connection to the system fields with that limitation.  Ensuring users don't exceed the character limit on their original entry would be very helpful!

Genuinely crazy you can go back years of people requesting this enhancement with no movement from Workfront. Even a simple end-user facing word count would be beneficial ... But here we are, posting endlessly to community boards hoping to be heard!

This is very important to us too! We would also like this feature on the "Text with formatting" field in addition to the "single line text" and "Paragraph text" fields.
