Im copy and pasting a sentence with 350 characters but it has lot of spaces in between so the final character count exceeds 1000, can I trim the sentence while copy pasting to grid using javascript(maybe on change)

Use javascript like this in your textarea field:

Code: Select all

$("#myTextAreaID").setOnchange(newVal, oldVal) {
    var spaceStripped = newVal.replace(/ {2,}/g, ' ');
    $("#myTextAreaID").setValue(spaceStripped);
});

If you want to strip out hard returns and tabs as well, then use this code:

Code: Select all

$("#myTextAreaID").setOnchange(newVal, oldVal) {
    var spaceStripped = newVal.replace(/\s+/g, ' ');
    $("#myTextAreaID").setValue(spaceStripped);
});
