Overview
Including a character count is beneficial for any fields where users may copy and paste data into. With the absence of a character count, users may not notice when information pasted in is missing due to length. With a label, you can display a character count and provide a color scheme when the length threshold has been met making it more noticeable to users.

Character Count Label
Text Property
Update the Text property of the label. Concatenate the current length with the maximum length of the text field.
Concatenate(Len(text_Description.Text), ” / 2000 characters”)
Color Property
Update the Color property of the label. If the length of the text field is at the maximum limit, we want to show the label color in Red, otherwise it will appear Black.
If(Len(text_Description) = 2000, Red, Black)
FontWeight Property
Update the FontWeight property of the label. If the length of the text field is at the maximum limit, we want to show the label in semi-bold to provide more visibility, otherwise it will appear in normal weight.
Result
When the user is below the maximum limit, they will be able to see the current count of the text field.
When at the maximum limit, they will be able to see the character count label has changed appearance indicating the limit has been reached.
