Source Text Character Limit
Hi. I’m wondering if anyone knows if there’s a way to limit the number of characters that can be typed in a text layer? Basically some kind of clamp that would keep someone from typing too many characters in a text layer? I’d greatly appreciate any insight.

Sure. You could put the expression text.sourceText.substr(0,10) on Source Text, changing 10 to whatever you want the limit to be.

Thanks Max! This is exactly what I needed. I appreciate it. Out of curiosity what’s the “substr” part of that do?

It returns a substring based on the beginning and end character indexes (0 to 10).
