kgkrishnan kgkrishnan In lightning interface set maxlength = 5000 for OOTB "Description" field of Contact/Case Objects.
Hi Lightning Experts,
For Contact/Case objects, in OOTB Lightning Record Details Page, I need to limit field "Description" [OOTB (Standard field )] to only 5000 characters. Being a LongTextArea type, it allows 32000 characters as default behaviour.
Using Validation Rule I can do it. However the issue is, I want the UX to stop user typing 5001 th character. Not that a rule flags error ONLY while trying to save entire page changes. As there might be 2-3 more such fields with same behavioural requirement.
Also aware that being Lightning, any JQuery/ JS is discouraged due to clash with Locker Service. So, any thoughts how to achieve it? With or without JQuery?

Insted of Standard Description create a new Description long text area with 5000 ..
Or use validation rule as you said ..
