    Hello,


    first of all I want to say, you have a great product, which is realy easy to use. Congartulations!

    I dont know if my whish in working with the system right now. But maybe you can give me a quick advice how to do it. We need this form for a voiceover platform with human speakers, to limit the speakertext.

    This is the form, the user fills in the length of his video, the system is calculating the amount of words, which can be spoken in this timeslot. So far so fine!

    The next field is a long text field, which I would like to limit with the amount of words calculated for the user in the field before.

    So I would like to hand over the figure calculated to the long text fields word limit parameter.


    Is that possible?


    have a nice day!


    Thomas

    Hi,

    You can set the word limit in the options tab:

    Do you want to change the maximum word limit dynamically base on values of other fields?

    If yes, I don't think that's possible in this current version.

    Hi,

    es I want to change the maximum word limit dynamically base on values of other fields?

    Ok that doesnt work!.

    But is it possible to show the wordcount without a limit. right now you have to set a limit to show the wordcount on the right bottom side of the long text modul.

    Is the a way to show the amount of the used words and leave the limit blank?

    Maybe there is a way to blend out the Limit with a css code?

    thanks
