The Form Documentation is really good - it might be worth having a look at it? There is also a helpful 6-min video that tells you exactly how to make a form: Video Tutorials to Create Apps Without Code | Adalo

Hello Adalo.ers,

is there any way we can show on screen the character count of an input field so the user can know how many characters he entered/have left ?
exemple : under an input text field [0/300 characters or 33 characters left] …

cheers!
