FieldType.Textarea.cshtml

We have developed a site with a form. The form has a text area

We want to set the maxlength attribute of the text area

So we've amended FieldType.Textarea.cshtml, in /Views/Partials/Forms/Fieldtypes/FieldType.Textarea.cshtml

adding that attribute but the attribute doesn't appear in the rendered markup

We've stopped the site and restarted it We've republish everything, regenerating the xml

are we doing something wrong ?

@model Umbraco.Forms.Mvc.Models.FieldViewModel
<textarea name="@Model.Name" id="@Model.Id" rows="2" cols="20" maxlength="500"
@{if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.PlaceholderText) == false){<text>placeholder="@Model.PlaceholderText"</text>}}
@{if(Model.Mandatory || Model.Validate){<text>data-val="true"</text>}}
@{if (Model.Mandatory) {<text> data-val-required="@Model.RequiredErrorMessage"</text>}}
@{if (Model.Validate) {<text> data-val-regex="@Model.InvalidErrorMessage" data-regex="@Html.Raw(Model.Regex)"</text>}}
>@Model.ValueAsHtmlString</textarea>

Are you, perhaps, using a theme instead of the default fields?

In \Views\Partials\Forms\ do you have a \Themes\ folder?

If you do look in there and you should see a theme folder (eg. Boostrap) and within that there is another FieldTypes folder that contains the field types for the theme. Try altering those instead.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your response, the form is using the bootstrap theme within which we found another textarea.cshtml file.

We've amended that, refreshed and your correct - its now being picked up

Many thanks
