Hi Max,

Did you mean how many letters can you insert in the text field ?

Thanks, Alex

Umbraco doesn't support such functionality out from the box. So, Max, you can create your own datatype like that :

It's great property editor and good practice for learning umbraco.

Thanks, Alex

Another way is to add validation pattern like that:

http://screencast.com/t/DIqTexICpl3o

Regex:
```
^.{0,20}$
```
But I don't like that way because of editor doesn't know what the problem when trying to save data.

It works ) I tested it before posting, you have to past it when creating new property in your document type.

Hi Max,

If you have full access to the Umbraco TV, then you can follow this chapter about building property editors. In this case you will be guided to built a char limit property editor

http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/developer/extending/property-editors/

Else try to see this package https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/kraftvaerkmaxlength/

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

I think it only validates the regex when you submit the form - so when you save or publish the page.

If you want to restrict the limit as the editor type into the field, you should use a custom property editor (datatype). You can use the one mentioned before or install this package https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/kraftvaerkmaxlength/

1) Via Nuget - PM> Install-Package MaxlengthPropertyEditor

2) Or download zip from here - https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/kraftvaerkmaxlength/ and go to the developers section in Umbraco, install package and select this zip

3) Via Umbraco package repository, go to the admin, developers section, packages, Umbraco package repository and find what you need

Hi Max

Please provide some more details of what is not working. Do you get any errors? Which version of Umbraco do you use?

Maybe post a screenshot of the what you see or what is broken.

Is it this Char Limit package you refer to? https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/char-limit/

You can't use it for Umbraco 7..

But you can use this package for Umbraco 7: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/kraftvaerkmaxlength/

After install you need to create a new datatype and choose the property editor from the dropdownlist. Then you go to you document type and choose the newly created datatype for your property.

Hi Max,

When you have installed the package into your Umbraco installation. Then you need to go to the developer section into the Data Types folder.

Click create a new data type, give it a name, and then choose the MaxlengthPropertyEditor as the property editor.

The you can add some settings to it. Save the new data type and then add on your document types where you need to use it.

Hope this helps,

/Dennis
