Problem/Motivation

The help page is written for the Expert audience, but should be written for the Learner.

The current text reads,

Maxlength creates a new Form Property: #maxlength_js which in conjunction with #maxlength will enforce, via JavaScript, the maxlength of a textfield or textarea and will show the number of characters left.')

Using the form display page, you can limit textfields and textareas. For textfields this module will use the "Maximum length" value set in the field plugin settings.

Steps to reproduce

Enable the module and visit

Proposed resolution

Rewrite the help page text for a Learner.

Proposed text,

The Maxlength module allows titles and text fields to have character limits on them. That limit can be hard or soft. It also displays a character countdown message.

To configure a character limit, navigate to the Manage form display settings page for the field you are setting a limit on. For example, setting a character limit on the Body field of the Article content type would be found at Structure > Content Types > Article > Manage form display.

For more information, see the online documentation for the Maxlength module.
