How to limit the number of characters in a DAM Dialog text field

The Problem

You want to limit the number of characters that can be entered into a DAM Dialog's text field.

The Solution

If you are using a textarea xtype, you can just add maxLength as a property with the number of characters you would like it to be limited to, set by the value. This leverages an in built validator to limit the number of characters.

  1. Anyidea why this property is not working when we have a textfield inside a dialogfieldset?
    Prob: field is showing red when the limit exceeds the limit but author is able to submit the dialog values.
