Hi,

if you want to allow the user to enter maximum 300 characters then do like this,

create simpletype of string set the maximum length property 300.

so it will allow maximum 300 chars.

if your requirement is user has to enter 300 chars must then give

fixed length property 300.

Hi,

to create simple type follow the below process,

<Project name> > Dictionaries > Local Dictionary > Data Types >

1.Open the context menu for the "Simple Types" node and choose "Create Simple Type".

2.Under Simple Type Name, enter <name>. Under Package, enter <give package name> . Choose Finish to confirm

3. The editor for the new simple type <name> opens automatically.

Choose the Definition tab page.

under the length contrainsts you can find the maximum length property edit this and save.

Hi Pawan,

You can take a simple types in the Local Dictionary, in this simple type you can specify the length in definition tab. And bind this simple type to the context of the text field.

Hi Pawan,

Create Simple Type in Local Dictionary (see your WD project tree in IDE), type should use "string" as base type, set min/max length constraints here.

Then go to content attribute of corresponding view and change attribute type to newly created type.

Btw, "length" of InputField just set average width of control in characters

thanks
