**Question:**  
I created a very simple form, but I have some fields where people can write their own answers. I activated the character limit option, but I realized people can’t see the count of the remaining characters, they can see just a message displayed showing that they need to provide shorter answers with the amount limit. That’s weird.

**Product:**  
Wix Studio

**What are you trying to achieve:**  
Displaying the remaining characters counter below the box field.

**What have you already tried:**  
I can’t find any other option.

Hi, Mauricio\_Pinzon !!

If there isn’t a built-in function to display the remaining character count in the form, you might need to implement a similar feature using Velo code and a text element. By using events like `onInput`, you could probably make it work.
