we are using 8.3, having migrated rom 7.2

this question relates to Cell properties on a section.

We have a cell property of type “Textbox with parameters and right-aligned text”.

Which physically prevents the user entering more numerical digits than is specified on the Parameters tab.

does this relate to 7.2 or can it be replicated in 8.3?

For information the size and maxlength are both 13

@SIMMSR01 Will text input control work in your scenario. In it, we can mention the maximum characters as shown below.

@pavan3753

thanks very much, that does work, it just a pity that Textbox with parameters and right-aligned text" no longer exists.

thanks again
