Text Area Word Count

About

This plugin validates whether users have exceeded a word count restriction.

Plugin

As scripted, this plugin sets a restriction of 10 words. You can modify the word count as necessary.

/**
 * Validates the word count of the entered text to prevent submission if it exceeds a specified threshold
 */

let dismissed = false;

LSI.on("beforeSaveAnnotation", (store, annotation) => {
  const textAreaResult = annotation.results.find(
    (r) => r.type === "textarea" && r.from_name.name === "textarea",
  );

  if (textAreaResult) {
    words = textAreaResult.value.text[0];
    word_count = words.split(" ").length;

    if (word_count > 10) {
      Htx.showModal(
        `Word count is ${word_count}. Please reduce to 10 or less.`,
      );
      dismissed = true;
      return false; // Block submission
    }
  }

  return true; // Allow submission
});
