maxlength attribute for text field

hekla 29 Jan, 2018

Hi there

I could not find where to set the simple good old fashioned maxlength attribute for a text field (<input>).
I did find the "maximum length" in the validation though, but I do not want the user to run into the validation if not neccessary.

Greetings,
Hekla

Hi Hekla,

You can use the Extra attributes box on the Advanced tab of the Text Files element to add extra attributes.

An useful additional information for all those to come:
the syntax is not like in HTML maxlength="5"
but slightly different: maxlength:5
