Limiting the number rows/columns in TextFields

Hi everybody,

I’m trying to put a textfield in my form which will allow the user to enter a maximum of 5 rows of text.
But I can’t find any property which allow to limit the size of text entered ?!

I’m very surprised because in Java you can easily modify it and there a plenty of parameters you can change.

Take a look at the Validation tab of the column properties. There you can set a validator for size.

Thx for the tip.

But It doesn’t really solve my problem as the user still can enter as much characters as he wants and it raises an error when trying to commit the value. (because of the failed validation) :(
