Hi,

Can anyone advise how can we enforce the user to enter certain numbers of characters in the text area field?

Thanks Sergey for your very speedy response. What I was trying to say is how to restrict the end user to input 100 characters in text area field. I want to make sure that the end user inputs at least 100 characters or 100 words on front end. That was my main intention and not responsive thing.

SO you want minimum text restriction not maximum? Because there is limitation it textarea field parameter. Even counter that show right while you type how many characters are left.

Yes you will need to hack Cobalt. And it will become unupdatable. I simply added this parameter to new textarea field.

Hi Sergey,

When you say you simply added this parameter-- Do you mean the minimum parameter?
