Hi,

It is not a kony product issue, but rather a native limitation. Please find our observation as below,

When "textInputMode" mode is set to TEXTBOX_INPUT_MODE_NUMERIC, we are able to enter more than the digits as limited in "max character" property. This behavior can observed in SPA iPhone, SPA iPad, Desktop Web platforms.

For a textbox, when "textInputMode" is number, it is not working even in the native application. please check the below link

modify input type="number", to check native behavior

Note : When "textInputMode" mode is set to TEXTBOX_INPUT_MODE_ANY, It will restrict the character as limited in "max character" property.

#Workaround#

onTextChange of textBox widget, you need to give write custom js logic to restrict the max length.

I set max characters property of a Textbox to 18 for the iOS version. I'm not able to input more than 18 but if I try to use textbook.text property to assign a string larger than 18 characters it allows all, doesn't restrict/trim down to 18. Is this a expected behaviour ?

On Android the above issue doesn't exist, it automatically trims down to 18, the defined character limit.

Hi @Soniv Mvthis​

This need to be validate, if you are setting the text at run time and its allowing more than max character and there is platform inconsistency. Please specify your version details.
