character limits on text fields #40

Closed fkh closed 10 years ago

Some users take advantage of "description" fields to copy-paste tons of text. Being able to specify a character limit via the config.yml would be really helpful for the person reviewing map submissions later.

I believe that HMTL5 has a maxlength parameter, but we have no UI to warn users that they're getting close, etc.

This is done, UI needs to be added to core. https://trello.com/c/0AwTwhP3/94-move-text-field-limits-into-core
