Text field max length is -1 by default
Unity: UI Builder
As Designed
6.1.X
6.0.X
As described here: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/UIElements.TextField-ctor.html
When max length is -1, it means there's no limit.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new URP project.
Assets > Create > UI Toolkit > UI Document, open this in UI Builder.
Drag component Text into Hierarchy, and view it in the UI Builder Inspector. Note the Max Length Attribute.
Actual results: Max length is -1, but you can type in the field and the field will show text.
Expected results: Max length is greater than 0 and a feasible number for a text field. Note in U6 versions, numeric fields have their max length set to 1000.
Reproducible with versions: 6000.1.0a6, 6000.0.30f1, 2022.3.53f1, 2021.3.45f1
Tested on (OS): MacOS 12.7.6
Notes:
Have not thoroughly regression tested this as it seems to be a new feature. Please contact the ticket reporter if regression testing will be useful.
The text field seemed to fix itself after being reselected, but the numeric fields did not.
