Currently when creating a template, the description has a 128 character limit, but there are two issues.

  1. When you focus the "Description" input for the first time, you can type >128 characters and the input box will not turn red until you de-focus the input box
  2. Since I can't see how many total characters I have, it's hard to plan how to fix it

Before de-focus (typing out 927 chars):

After de-focus:

User question: When did I exceed it?

After initial focus/defocus, the error will show up in real-time, but that also requires looking at the screen to figure out when you exceed it.

Suggested fixes:

  1. Trigger errors even on initial focus
  2. Show counter (64/128, 142/128) all the time so that the user can more easily resolve the issue

as a side note: Why is this value so restricted? Maybe a customer want to write a more detailed description.
