Input dynamic Max. Length

By André Alho on 6 Jul 2015

The input text widget should have dynamic value (integer expression).

You'd have to come up with a very good use case, in my opinion, before this idea would gain any traction. Why would anyone want an end user to just dump unlimited text into a field. I can't think of any case where that makes sense and if you really want something unlimited, like a file, you can just use a binary data field.

I don't want unlimited length fields.

I just have dynamic forms configured at BackOffice. The users need to fill maxlength foreach field. I'm using extended property, but there is no need if developer can use OS Max. Length property.

Use case: data-driven form system.

I know this idea is a year old now but it's still a good idea.

I have cases where I need to change the max length of a field based on another field.

An example: I have an ID/Passport field, its length changes based on the Country of the user. I can do this check server side but it would be better to just limit the user on the client side in the first place.

Share your awesomeness!
