About the MaxLength module

About the MaxLength module for Drupal 9/10/11

Maxlength 3.x Actively maintained and supported version for future improvements and new features. Supports CKEditor 5 and Drupal 10 and 11 versions.

Maxlength 2.1.x Maintained only for critical bugs. Supports CKEditor 4, CKEditor 5 and Drupal 9 and 10. Please note that CKEditor 4 reached its end of life! This version of MaxLength is not compatible with Drupal 11 versions. Boasts a more intuitive configuration interface than 1.0, the countdown message displays red when the maximum length is exceeded and short text fields have a soft limit. (read more)

About the MaxLength module for Drupal 7

Maxlength 7.x-3.3 Security fixes only. Less intuitive configuration interface, has several character count bugs.

We strongly encourage upgrading your website from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10.

Helper Module:
MaxLength Auto automatically enables MaxLength on fields with a #maxlength key.

Similar Module:
CKEditor Wordcount provides similar functionality but is only available on fields using CKEditor. Also the character limit is set on the text format rather than the field.
