Text Length Constraint Action
This action permits set or clear the minimum and maximum text length constraints of a segment. You can clear constraints, set them to absolute character lengths, calculate them as a percentage of the source text length and more.
Note that length constraints are expressed in terms of "number of characters".
The action is configured as follows:
type | "LengthConstraints" | string, Mandatory |
locale | The language to which to apply status/bookmark changes when a constraint was updated. This parameter is thus optional but recommended if flag changes shall be implemented across all action types. | string, Optional |
maxMode | The mechanism to calculate the new maximum length. Available values are:
| string, Mandatory |
maxValue | An integer value that is used with maxMode options "Absolute", "Percentage" and "Add". | int,Optional |
minMode | The mechanism to calculate the new minimum length. Available values are:
| string, Mandatory |
minValue | An integer value that is used with minMode options "Absolute", "Percentage" and "Add". | int,Optional |
localeRef | The "Percentage" modes require that you specify the locale containing the source text here. | string, Optional |
If the calculated minimum length happens to be larger than the maximum length: The system will reset the minimum to the maximum to avoid inconsistent values.
