Extend Required Field Text For Free

Under Options, select the Limit text box to check box, and then specify the number of characters that you want. To make the user's cursor advance automatically to the next control on the form after he or she reaches the character limit, select the Move to next control automatically when limit is reached check box.

Websites and mobile apps collect a wide variety of data using the forms. Most of these forms have required fields which means the user must fill these fields in order to submit the form successfully.
