Hi Joanna,

As answered in your other post, yes you can do it by using the “text length” column if it’s a text entry or an If then else columns if its a number, and check it’s more than 14 characters.

If condition is not matched, in your button, add a notifications saying it’s more than 14 characters, otherwise, do the actions.

> Yes, max and min length for text entry only work in forms.  
> You could count the length of the text entry using a “text lengh” column.  
> Then on your button action, you set this logic:  
> IF, the data entered by user \> than your limit of character THEN show notifications “max characters X”.
