Restrict text length in webform fields?
We are working on a process of requesting the details from users in a webform and fill the PowerPoint file based on values provided in the webform using catalytic.
We were testing the same. We observed that, text in PowerPoint file were too long based on the longer inputs given by the users.
We would like to restrict the number of characters entered.
Requesting for the help on this.
