This sets the character limit of the data in the Data display Area.

Note that it does not force the individual to stop entering data, it simply limits what is being displayed in the Data Display Area.

Please note, for more advanced fields like Content Creation fields that use HTML in the background, this may break cause minor adverse effects on what is displayed here.

It will add 3 trailing dots to the end of the string
