Adding a character count to a column

Please can you consider adding a character count. We have one-liners that are added to back of packaging that need to be max 116 characters and it would be so helpful to be able to have a feature to type directly into a column and for Monday.com to count the characters or highlight the column if you go over the limit.

Your suggestion would be cool.

I had a similar need recently with the item name. I created a formula to help:

IF(LEN({Name}) > 50, "🟥" & LEN({Name}), LEN({Name}))


You could also add conditional coloring if you wanted:
