This Example Lab demonstrates how to use a Form with a Validation Rule in order to limit the number of characters allowed as input.

## Explanation

This example shows a Form with a Validation Rule that has an Evaluation Rule that checks to see if the character limit exceeds 30. If that Rule is True, the Form will prevent the user to continue until the character limit is lower.
