Ability to require minimum/maximum number of charcters in a form field. This would prevent users from entering a "space" to get through the required field. My application is for a zip code, where the user must enter 5 characters.

Thank you all for taking the time to submit, upvote, and comment on this Idea. I'm happy to report that this is now available in the new Forms Editor. You can opt-in to the public beta here,
This feature has been delivered and can be set on custom properties. However, at the moment the rules are only enforced on manual entry into actual records within HubSpot. We are currently working to get this enforced on forms as well and should be deployed soon. We will keep you all posted.

I'm happy to announce that this feature is now In Beta!!!
We are rolling this feature out over the next couple of weeks. Once this feature is available in your portal, you will see an option to opt into the beta within your portal under "Product Updates".

I'm happy to report that this Idea is now In Planning! Our team is actively building this feature.
The product development process is always filled with unexpected bumps and hurdles, so I can't give a timeline, but I am confident in saying we'll deliver this feature as soon as possible.
All updates will be relayed on this thread, so stay tuned!
I like this concept. If you could control the format of a field as well for things like phone numbers. This way everything is entered the same way no matter who enters it.
I'm glad that this is on the idea forum. We have a critical need for min/max number of characters for the postal code to validate that the code is legit. We divvy leads out to our sales team by the first three digits of a zip code. We use smart lists to segment leads by sales rep and then workflows to route the lead alert. However, if someone from Boston enters 2141 instead of 02141, this totally messes up our lead routing logic. The lead goes to our sales rep covering Baltimore (where zips begin with 214) instead of to our rep covering Boston (where zips begin with 021).
Agreed, this is a basic functionality in Marketo, but is missing in hubspot for some reason. Please add this function in a way that doesn't require hard coding it onto the form.
I think it would be a good idea to have the option to impose a character limit for single line text properties.
We recently had an issue where answers on a certain form field were over 2000 characters wouldn't process in our CRM (integrated to HubSpot). We are making the adjustment on the CRM's end, but it would be cool to have that option in HubSpot as well.
When using it for "Contact" property, it must have a character limit. Its a basic functionality which is missing in HubSpot, please do try to implement it.
Our hubspot is connected to quickbooks. Quickbooks limits the number of charactors you can use in a company name + full address. We constantly have sync issues because QB cannot accept such a long string of characters so then reps have to go back in to resolve, touching records multiple times unnecessarily.
If we could set the max characters for fields such as Company Name and our Billing Address info (basically any text based field) this would be a life saver!
@lnglkcpx It's causing issues with our QuickBooks syncing as well. Being able to set a maximum character length for a field in HubSpot would be very helpful.
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
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.
