It's not working for the entry title field

[tinyearth]

It's my first time using this extension. The way I understand it is, you should be able apply the limits to entry title fields. However, it has no effect on them in EE 2.10.1.

I have not been able to replicate the issue with titles. Are you setting the limit on the title field as a hard limit or a soft limit?

[tinyearth]

Ok, it seems to work in other channels. There is just 1 channel it's not working it. I've tried both hard and soft limits. Odd. Any ideas what could cause it to not work in a specific channel? This one has pre-existing entries and probably the most content.

[tjdraper]

I’m curious if you have any channels sharing field groups?

[tinyearth]

Actually, yes, this is happening on a channel that is sharing the same field groups as another channel.

[tinyearth]

So it looks to be working on the channel that was created and assigned the field group first, but not the channel that was created later.

Is there any kind of workaround or solution that has worked for anyone? Having the same problem and can't get it working.

@ianmcdonald We'll take a closer look at this in the next day and get back to you.

[tinyearth]

@ianmcdonald I just stopped sharing the field group, since I only had 1 being shared. But yes, it'd be nice to get an update so it works across channels with shared field groups.

[leigeber]

Okay, we've pushed an update to the develop branch at https://github.com/caddis/limitee/tree/develop that hopefully solves this issue. Because of backwards compatibility and the data structure you will need to save the Limitee settings again to get the title values to persist across channels. Nothing should change, it just needs to be resaved. Certainly be careful to notate the original Limitee settings in case something goes wrong. Please let me know if this solves your issues and if you run into any problems before we merge into master. Thanks.
