Show character count in all fields with a character limit in Property Description Tab
Now that Airbnb and VRBO both have restrictions on the number of characters for Public Name and Long Description, it would be extremely helpful and more streamline to make those adjustments. Instead I'll have to copy and past into a word doc and the paste back into. It's kinda clumsy and time consuming as I have 20+ properties to adjust. Unless I am missing it somewhere. :)

The new Property Descriptions tab will display a live character counter for every field and enforce limits based on each channel’s requirements (Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.). This ensures you always meet platform-specific character restrictions without having to cross-reference them manually when writing your descriptions.

it seems, for some of these, they have now limited the number of characters you can type, but this isn't the same thing, and it doesn't help us understand how many characters we have to remove to determine how we can adjust an existing description.

Add that to the Long Description field too!

Put a character counter on the Description page's Public Name and Short Description so we don't create text threads that don't get published

Since Airbnb is enforcing the character limit, it'd be a great idea if hostfully can add a character count to the text boxes in the description.
