# Input Fields Maxlength

 * I am trying to set a maxlength attribute to certain input fields on the registration
   and account pages. It works nicely when added through the browser inspector.
 * However, I can’t see an obvious way to actually add this from the backend. I 
   thought it might be under the custom fields tab but can’t find it there.
 * Does your plugin allow this?

 * Yes, this can be done by editing the custom field and clicking on the ‘Validation’
   tab and using the Character Limit setting:

 * Thank you for the reply and screenshot but it seems that tab doesn’t display 
   for some of the default fields. Username, Nickname, and Email don’t show a validation
   tab?

 * Ah I see, thanks. Which field were you looking to impose a character limit on?
