    I know this has been asked before but I can't see that anyone's answered it clearly. And the help docs for Revo are using screenshots from Evo.

    I just want to set the character limit for a Text or Text area in the TV but there doesn't seem to be anyway to do it.

    Can I set this via Input Options? If so how?

    Thanks

        Arrrgh, this was driving me nuts.

        I had the input set to text area and that doesn't show those options.

        When I set it to just text, they appeared.

        It's always the little things that get ya.

        Thanks

          For "Textarea" y can use limit or ellipsis.
