Maxlength does not appear to work in conjunction with flexifield.

Any maxlength fields on a form which are within flexifield elements do not work. They do not have the maxlength text countdown displayed.

On the other hand fields on the same form which are outside of flexifields work fine.

Is this a bug in maxlength, or in flexifield? Or is this a configuration issue? In any case what is the resolution?

Other information:
Maxlength 6.x-2.0-beta2
Flexifield 6.x-1.0-alpha5
Drupal 6.20

Can you tell me if it works with the older version, beta1? There is a huge change in initializing the counter between beta1 and beta2.

I used flexifield on several sites, it does not support all the CCK widgets and so on, so i'd not call it a bug, more like an incompatiblity between the two modules.

It did not work on Beta 1 either. I upgraded to beta 2 to see if it fixed the issue. I'm guessing its an incompatibility also, have you any suggestions how I might resolve this issue?

The Drupal 6 version of Maxlength is no longer supported so I'm marking this Closed (won't fix).

I also encourage you, if you haven't already, to upgrade your site to Drupal 8/9. We are actively maintaining that version and you would enjoy all of the other features of the latest version of Drupal.
