Hi there,
Thank you for the link. Please go to the Form JS Editor and add the code below:
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('textarea[name="wpcf-artwork-artist-statement"]').attr('maxlength', '20');
});
The code above makes use of the standard HTML maxlength attribute. But please consider that it is a character based number, so you need to add the number of the character limit and not the Word limit.
As an example you can change 20 to 30 to force a 30 character limitation for the textarea in question.
Thank you.
