Set the maximum length of any field on your Backdrop CMS website and enforce while editing rather than just on save, showing a countdown of remaining characters. This includes fields created using the UI (e.g. any text field on a node). It is compatible with Backdrop's CKEditor out of the box.
- Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions.
When the maximum length is enforced for a field, while a user is editing content of that type some Javascript will count down how many characters are left. (If the Javascript is turned off, it falls back to form API validation.)
MaxLength creates a new Form Property: #maxlength_js which in conjunction with #maxlength will enforce, via Javascript, the maxlength of a textfield or textarea and will show the number of characters left.
Using the field setting page, you can limit text fields and text areas. For text fields this module will use the "Maximum length" value set in the field settings.
