Hi, I watched below video on your site and the host shows that when you use "Single Field", there is a "Field Options" control on the right bar so you can set the character limit.
However, when I followed exact the same steps, I cannot see the "Field Options" so I cannot set up character limit. Do you know why?
If it helps, my single field is using dynamic resource from "Post Title".
Here is the link of the video and you can see the screenshot I taken in attachment

The character limit is an option available for the Post Excerpt only (for when you automatically generate an excerpt and need to specify its length).

It's not an option that is available for other fields. The Post Title field will output the whole title.

Hi Nigel, thanks for the quick response! Is there any workaround so I can limit the words of post title?

Hello,

You can try with custom codes, for example:
1) Add below codes in your theme file "functions.php":

add_shortcode('mb_strim_title', function($atts, $content){
  	$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
        'length' => '20',
    ), $atts);
	$content = mb_strimwidth(do_shortcode($content), 0, $atts['length'], "..");
	return $content;
});

2) Use above shortcode like this:

[mb_strim_title length="20"][wpv-post-title][/mb_strim_title]
