Allow character limits on Text custom fields

Currently text fields are not restricted in size (that I am aware of).

It would be great if text fields could be defined with a maximum character limit specified, or at least some basic options such as small, medium, large, and unrestricted.

Thank you for considering.

I would agree with this! I have recently made one of my paragraph questions required and some of my co-workers just hit the space bar or a period.

Hi @Lee Toole 👋

As you may already know, there is no character limit for text custom fields, as mentioned in this article. Nonetheless, your suggestion to define a maximum character limit will be forwarded to the Product Team. If there's any progress in the future, I'll be sure to let you know 👍

This would be a great enhancement! We've integrated Wrike and SFDC and one of the fields we've integrated has a character limit in SFDC but we're unable to set those same restrictions in Wrike. If a user makes an update to that custom field in Wrike above and beyond the character limit the integration breaks down. Will be sure to keep an eye out for future progress on this!

Hi Wrike team,

We would appreciate to keep the current free text without limitation as it is or at least optional for the customer who want to have limitation or free for the customer who want it to be free.

Thank you for taking this info into consideration.

Kind Regards,

Kareem

Has the optional feature of limiting character counts in specific fields been roadmapped? This would be incredibly helpful as we use Wrike as an intake form for requests however when a requestor enters a project name that is too long, it doesn't allow the backend users to see the sub-projects + tasks in certain views as the long project name occupies too much space. Hopefully this can get implemented very soon!

For a workaround, I would suggest the ability to bulk update project names within sub-projects + tasks. Thanks!
