Minimum/Maximum Number of Characters in a Field

This would be great, as I’ve had a customer request this exact thing :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m also having issues syncing to other platforms that would be solved by imposing a character limit. Any chance we can get this implemented?

Please add this solution. It is causing issues with our finance system. A maximum character length for a field in HubSpot would solve the issue.

Please add this as an option. This is an essential option for many types of integrations.

Please add this feature. It is breaking the Jira integration without having character limits. Seems like standard functionality that should be included.

Hi HubSpot Dev Team. This is a much-needed feature in HubSpot. Please consider adding it. Thank you!

Adding request for support to this thread. There are difficulties with Salesforce sync that are an issue.

This is an issue with our ERP sync as well. Please consider this change-- thank you!

Oh my gosh yes please!

This is essential

Please add character limits. It would be very, very helpful for our use of the forms.

That seems pretty straightforward to implement. Please do. Our Jira Integration has a ticket title character limit and might cause issues.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to thank you all for taking the time to submit, vote and comment on this Idea. My name is Shay, and I’m the Product Manager for HubSpot’s Properties.

I’m happy to announce that this feature is now In Beta and access to the beta has been given to all portals!!! You will now be able to set validations on all custom properties and HubSpot editable properties.

To learn more, check out this KB Doc: Set validation rules for a property

We’ll be sure to update you here and on our Product Updates blog as soon as this feature is Delivered.

This is fantastic! I don’t see the beta access in our portal. Would you be able to make sure we have access?

We have needed this since day 1 with Hubspot. Quickbooks limits company names to 41 characters so we get an error each time a company name goes over.

Thanks for making it happen.

@lnglkcpx This feature is only available on custom properties and HubSpot editable properties. It isn’t currently available on HubSpot read-only definition properties.

@shajones Oh no! Is this future expected functionality? That’s where we would need it most.

This composant is very important.

In our process, tickets Hubspot are generated one the form is submitted. After that, a ticket JIRA is created (Integration API). The problem is in JIRA, we are limited with the nbre of caracters. otherwise, the ticket will not be created==> It is blocking for us

Hi team,
Commenting for a customer here.
It can be crucial for us to set a minumum or maximum length for a text field on HubSpot! This field can then be used in forms. It is important because it would help to prevent people from “bypassing” the required text field easily.
Thanks!

Yes! We would like to be able to enforce a minimum word or character count on a multi-line text field that requires people to type a certain amount of words/characters in order to submit the form. This is crucial for our lead evaluatiojn. Those who type less in the form field are our weaker leads, and we’d like to weed them out in the beginning.

Hi team,
Commenting on behalf of a customer here.
It would be useful for us to set a minumum length for a text field to prevent invalid data from being entered (e.g. spaces, hyphens). While custom validation with the onFormSubmit function is a workaround, it may be tedious for users with multiple forms to manage this.
Thanks for looking into this!
