Few questions here.

1. I would like to limit characters on multiple fields in the same form. Some are single line, some text area.

2. Could you please help with a simple character counter that counts downward from the character limit as characters are filled in?

3. In a checkbox field for categories, how would I limit the categories shown to those I select?

The form I'm working with is hidden link

I did try to follow this, but that seems to be for only a single field? https://toolset.com/forums/topic/can-i-limit-characters-count-for-my-single-line-text-field-in-cred-forms/#post-908303

Some of those fields are via a plugin, but that is all working properly.

Thank you.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

This would require some custom code to achieve, I took a look through our forums and this was done by one of our previous supporters .
