Trying to build a form for some data entry and I have a character limitation on a comments field in my database. I don't want my users to be able to enter in any comments greater than 256 characters because they will be truncated when passed through the API i'm calling.

 

How can or would I go about limiting the number of characters that can be entered into the text area on a display form?

  In the TextArea Formitem, use the Validate function to get the length of your string. If the string extends the length, inform the user to truncate.
