That's a good suggestion, adding it as a feature request. Thanks.

Hi Mariuss. Sorry to bother you, just .. is there perhaps an update or a time frame when the possibility of having maxlength for profile fields would happen? Checking almost daily, would love this feature. Thank you so much!

Not too soon, sorry.

If you have a patch then please attach it and I'll review it.

I would pay for this feature!
how much would it take to implement this for profile fields and also to have it work in 6.x?

I would also like to see this. I have found a patch submitted for Drupal 7.x, maybe someone can get an idea from it...

Was there ever a working prototype of this for D6 profile fields?

I found a pretty sweet work-around here:

Basically you need jquery library (1.4.2+) and you get a pop up when you have exceeded a certain number of words (100 in the example)

Status: Needs work » Closed (works as designed)

The Drupal 6 version of Maxlength is no longer supported so I'm marking this Closed (works as designed).

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.
