Hi partner,
Could you provide more information?
The number of characters is completely set according to your business environment.
thanks for reply.
I'm working on PowerApps. when we are creating a field how many characters should be the maximum length for first name, last name, full name, descriptions etc., is there any standard character length.
The standard maximum length of first name, last name fields is 50.
The standard maximum length of the full name field is 160.
The descriptions field is a multi-line text field whose standard maximum length is 2000.
Hi Dom-6,
Thank you for the query.
For PowerApps the text limits are mostly adhere to the Data source limits.
VarChar (max) check : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/data-types/char-and-varchar-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15
When it comes to the control within PowerApps, specially for the TextInput control, it should have the MaxLength property for you to restrict with the Max length that a user is allowed to enter.
For more information, please see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-text-input
