It would be nice to have the option of a required length on fields.  We have a culture problem where the resolution information block that we have setup on tickets to allow for a brief description of the fix used to close the ticket is just being filled out with a single letter.  If we could require a minimum length, like 15 characters, it would help to force agents to fill out the ticket completely.

 

Similarly, having a max length requirement would help as well.  At a previous org of mine we used resolution codes that were 4 character shorthand to allow for a little better description of what we did to fix the issue and for a field like this having a max length would help ensure good data.

 

I’m guessing this would be a loved feature for many teams as they look to collect the best data possible out of a ticket.

Absolutely agree! Adding field length requirements, both minimum and maximum, would greatly enhance data quality and completeness. It's a simple yet effective way to encourage agents to provide meaningful information. This feature could be a game-changer for improving ticket resolution descriptions and overall data accuracy. Many teams would benefit from this enhancement.

Please can you add this asap as we need maximum character limitation for our service requests. Currently the business rules are not that sophisticated:

Would request slight modification to request to instead allow the requirement be set via regular expressions. This way if there are more complex requirements they could also be met.
