character limit for discussions
How can the character limit be adjusted for New Discussions in the Discussions module?

Hello Michael Beloved !
It is possible to setup via Studio->Forms->Discussions->New discussion area. Just find there the "Text" field and edit it. In the appeared popup find the "Check for" field and change value from "Data Availability (something must be entered) " to "Data Length (limit amount of characters) ". In the appeared "Min Value" and "Max Value" fields set your own limits.

Thanks

I was in the process but did not click to change to "Data Length (limit amount of characters) ", so I did not see the min/max value fields because they appear only after Data Length is clicked.

- LeonidS,
I changed as directed but the system seems to ignore that change after it was saved, as we are still getting the notice as per file attached.
- LeonidS,

As many forms have the HTML editor for text fields it means that HTML tags like <p> and </p> will be added too and counted as "entered" symbols. So if you have the "Minimal Length" as 5 it means that text like "1" will be passed (<p>1</p>).
-
<p>1</p> means 8 spaces and not 1 space
is this what you are saying
what happens if the minimal length is 0
or if it is left blank

<p>1</p> means 8 spaces and not 1 space

Yes, definitely so.
"what happens if the minimal length is 0 "
Then any content will be passed for this condition.
