Max length property for textfields

2

I'm not sure about it, there's no visible indicator and it just "stops" adding more characters which again my lead to confusion.

I'm up for that change, but it should also display message to the users, as Daniel mentioned - no message would be confusing.

I'm a bit allergic to red messages, like they are shown when I'm using length limitation via regular expression.

So I started to use a html field and some code to set the max length property and placed a hint either in the description of the field or used the input placeholder.
I think this might also be a good approach from an accessibility perspective.

When there is another way to display a hint about the maximal length, I'm up for it. This might be something that is best answered by an UX specialist.

I understand the case. As proven in this thread, it's somewhat a matter of preference how to solve it. We'll take it into account during the work on UI/UX, although to be very transparent it's a low priority at this moment.

I'm wondering whether more people would also need this? If so, vote (click a thumbs up button)
