I am looking to limit the number of characters entered into the default “summary” field group, which is set as a textarea field type. As a textarea type, you can only limit the number of rows , which only impacts what you see on the publish screen. What is the best way to limit the input into this area to , say 500 characters. Should I set it to a textinput type and limit it that way or is there a better way?

Text input is max 255 characters. You may be best off with an extension, or handling it on the Stand Alone Entry From.

I have not seen one for this purpose or I would have recommended it already. =)
