We have run into an issue with the Name field on our Workform where the character limit is 255. However, the field does not stop you from going over this amount or provide you a character count generally so end-users are not aware when they go over.
The error message just states “Submission failed. Please try again.” so it is nondescript.
It would be great to either have the field stop at 255 characters. Alternatively, adding a character counter or just providing a more specific error message would work as well. Since this is a standard system field, we cannot even adapt it to be a larger text area field.
