Hi Devendra, The Text - Long control provides 2 options for Text format: Plain text and Rich text. If you select Plain text, you can use the Maximum number of characters configuration field to restrict the number of characters allowed. If you select Rich text, you can use a rule as @ghaiashish suggested.
