Limit number of characters on a text widget

[LDouglas8]

So I have a text widget that I’m using to add text content to a Hubspot site. The client needs that it’s able to be capped at a certain number of characters, say 400 so that one can not type beyond the specified number of characters.

Here is a screenshot of the widget that I’m talking about.

How it looks like on the Landing page

The idea is that one shouldn’t be able to type past a certain number of characters.

Hey @LDouglas8 based on my experience I think it’s impossible to limit the characters in the content editor. Alternatively, what you can do is use the truncate hubL filter.

you can do something like this:

{{ module.text|truncate(400) }}
