Is good to have the option to limit the characters per field on forms.

Hi there, @Giorgos 👋

Many thanks for adding your idea to the Wishlist. Could you just specify the field(s), where you’d like to set this limit?

Hi,

I’m still waiting for an option to limit the size of the message. We need to select the number of caracters and the client must see the number of carcaters they still have in their message.

Thanks
