The Opquast Digital Quality Framework - Rule n° 74

Rule n° 74 - The label of each form field indicates the maximum number of characters allowed, where applicable.

Have you ever posted a message and had an error when sending it, or worse, realized after sending that half of the text you had written had disappeared? If this is the case, you will easily understand the value of this rule, which consists in specifying the limits in number of characters.
