I would like to offer a Cobalt textarea field with a certain length restricted by Emerald (eg. 500 characters for level1, 1000 characters for level 2 etc). Is there a way this can be done?

Unfortunately no. It would be only possible if we add this feature which we cannot do right now.

Thank you for your reply.

How about setting up a TextArea field (A) with limit 500 characters that can only be submitted by Level 1. And then adding another TextArea field (B) with limit 1000 characters that can only be submitted by Level 2. Of course then TextArea A (500 characters) will be blank for a level 2 and TextArea B (1000 characters) will be blank for level 1. So the blank fields won't be shown on the template? (Of course this poses a problem when people upgrade but it could be a workaround for now?)

Perfect idea. This should work. Delete warning messages so that field is hidden completely.

There may be one issue though. That when user change subscription, old text becomes unreachable.
