Hello! I set Max lenght in Text Area to 10. I thought that this would limit the input to max 10 characters, but I can still enter more than 10 characters. How can I actually limit the text length here? Thanks!

Hey @paul84 , @JoeyKarczewski is correct. Retool doesn't natively restrict new input. But if you really want to restrict further input in the UI you could try out something like this: [2022-01-10 15.29.27] Would that work for you?

Text Area Max length has no effect

This is super clever @minijohn!

Hats off to you!
