Is there a way to show the characters remaining limit on the interface

Hmm…it seems this is not working code as per the post about the undocumented skuid method used here, so I think the thread should not be marked as “solved”.

I can’t find anything else on the community about showing character limits on fields or  giving the user a reasonable sense of what can be entered in a field when skuid is used as a form for data collection (and feedback if they don’t do it within the limits). Suggestions?
