At Korbyt, we understand that there are limits to how many characters can be displayed in a single post field. To give your users the best experience possible, we standardized the character limits across key fields.
There are two types of character limits for post fields:
- Soft limits are the recommended character count for a field. While it’s possible to type beyond the soft limit for a field, the best practice is to strictly adhere to the limit. If you exceed the soft limit, your user may be presented with a “…more” option so that they can see all the characters. Otherwise, the excess characters will be truncated.
- Hard limits are the maximum character count allowed for a field. You can’t type beyond the hard limit for a field.
