Default Character Length | Forms | Zoho Creator Help

Default character length

A set of default character length for form fields are in place to help in effectively using the available space. For instance, you might have fields with large values that contain too many characters. These can be substituted with values of fewer characters. This in turn facilitates the form to include more fields. Users will be able to modify the default limit for Single Line, Email, Dropdown, and Radio button fields. The list of fields with the default length is provided in the table below.

Note :
Maximum character length validation will be implemented strictly for all your form fields if a record is added via Deluge , API , or email input . This validation ensures that all the records added via various inputs undergo a thorough check for their field characters to ensure they're on par with the predefined character limits that you set, thereby minimizing error handling. You (admin) can minimize errors by suitably adjusting your character limits.
