Thank you for being so understanding, and we hope you enjoy the long weekend!
Here's what I want to do: Build a table with 2 columns where you type in a string of text and the second column says how many characters there are in the first column. Is this possible?
For example, a metatag title needs to be 75 characters or less. I want to create a quick calculator tool for this.
Hi Allison,
Sorry for the waiting time.
We don't work on weekends so it adds two days to the waiting time.
we appreciate your patience.
Sorry to disappoint you, but at this time, we don't have any built-in solution to achieve this use-case.
You can suggest it to our developers, though - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.
Please feel free to search on our suggestions page,
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.
-
If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.
Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.
You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.
( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)
-
At the moment, we only have a Formula Column, which can only do basic math calculations based on values taken from one or more Table columns - but for something like the use-case you described, at the moment we don't have a solution (yet).
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
