Change max char to Control inherited from property
Hi,
I'm starting in PEGA development, I need to change a max char in a cell, I see that this cell is created as a 'Control inherited from property' and the option for max char is not available. My question is, how can I change it? I mean, seems to be straight to create a new TextInput and assign the property and use it instead of the original, my goal is to limit the TextInput to 10 character max.
Thanks

Hi
You can set the Max length in the Advanced tab of property rule form of the property you are using.

When we use 'Control inherited from property', the option for max char will not be available. You can click on the change link and then can change the control to text input/text area and then click on the Presentation tab to specify the max characters there.

The max length on the field level doesnot work if your datatype is integer,
If your Input property is of text, and want to limit the characters, change the control inherited property to text input and as Rachit suggested, set the max character limit in the advanced tab to the required length.

Hi Josel,
In this case, you need to change the type of control instead of using "Control Inherited from Property" to TextInput. Now you can specify the Max Chars and control it.
Another approach is defining the Max chars in Advanced Tab of the Property for restriction.

One thing to add here: If we define the max length on the property as well as in the section(for input in Presentation Tab), the max length on the property will take the precedence at runtime.
