So you want t limit the body field to only accept a certain max number of characters?

There is no core way of doing this, it’d be the realm of a plugin (although I can’t see why people would need this feature).

Yes, I also think “why people would need this feature?”. But, you can do it with JS/jQuery. The easiest way is with the bot write tab customize plugin.

In “Additional js code” you put:

<script>
    $(function() {
        $("#body").attr("maxlength", "5");
    });
</script>

This limits the entry to 5 characters.
